The requirements of email don't match well with xinetd on this system (it handles too much email for that). Some sort of permanently running server is necessary. ucspi-tcp does that nicely. And is written to the same performance and (most important) security standards as qmail. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / Ghugle: the Fannish Ghod of Queries Book log: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/
