just to back up the ease of Qmail...
i was given a project at work, i had to make our mail servers behave in a
certain way. i'm no sendmail guru, always ran it straight out of the box
since it was "good enough" for me. anyway, after 4 hours of digging through
sendmail docs and web pages i still hadn't figured out how i was supposed to
do this. so i started looking at qmail and within 5 minutes of poking through
the qmail web pages (not even looking for this answer, just looking at what
qmail was all about) i had the solution to my problem.
i don't think i will ever use sendmail again after this. qmail has my vote.
