It is incredibly secure, but I'm not happy with the spam filtering either. You can set up spam assassin with qmail if you want. I don't have the time to do it. And qmail doesn't do IPv6, which will kill it as soon as IPv6 becomes popular (which, last time I checked, was scheduled to occur in 2112, only 101 short years from now). Does postfix? John
