Well, compared to postfix or sendmail I meant. With qmail, you need to change the way /var/spool/mail works, install djb's version of inetd for it (you can use regular inetd, but you need dan's to prevent spammers from relaying through you), add like 5 more user accounts and 1 or 2 groups for the qmail processes to run under, etc... Qmail is definitely a good mailserver, probably the most secure and the fastest, but it's kind of annoying to set up. I can't just do a "make install" and edit a config file, there's a little more to it. :) Jay > -----Original Message----- > From: David Dyer-Bennet [mailto:dd-b at dd-b.net] > Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2001 11:42 AM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Sendmail and spooling > > > "Austad, Jay" <austad at marketwatch.com> writes: > > > Use Postfix. > > > > I use both Postfix and qmail, but Postfix is probably what > you want.
