I agree with that. It's probably best to wait for a release of VMailer
before doing any speed or security comparisons.

Still, even if VMailer isn't the fastest MTA in every situation, it
might still be a reasonable candidate for the "default"-MTA shipped
with NetBSD (thanks to its more liberal licensing terms). I certainly
intend to take a good look at it once it is released.
