The one thing that bothers me about qmail is that it appears that djb is no longer doing any development on it. AFAIK all qmail development work is being done via 3 parties as addons. I have recently inherited 2 old mailservers with qmail installed. The first thing I did was put them behind a postfix box to reduce the spam/viruses. Admittedly some of the reasoning was lazyness on my part. I really have no interest in learning qmail. It took me less than an hour to setup transport tables for my virtual domains so that postfix would relay them. > Qmail is quite granular and should be able to handle anything...at least > thats what I thought ;-) Anyone know of any implementation of transport > maps similar to postfix, implemented with qmail? > > Idea in itself is quite good...and does enable to keep mail (not in > transit) behind the firewall. Comments please. Anybody? Since it appears that you are just getting started with this project why not look at postfix? It is easy to setup, is being actively developed, and unlike the qmail community, the postfix community will not bite your head off if you ask a stupid question. :-) Oh and one other thing postfix is included with fedora and RHEL. One less addon package to install and maintain. HTH, Tom
