Hello!
I am looking for some info from experienced users of postfix and qmail.
Which one is better?
I only used postfix (currently) and sendmail (previously). I like
postfix, but I've heard that qmail is faster and therefore better for
large sites.
I just noticed that my ISP uses qmail, and they probably have over a
million mailboxes.
Does anymore have any opinion which one is better?
Last time(2 years ago) i had a look at qmail is was mostly unmaintained,
because the maintainer thought it has all needed features. Things like ldap
support, has been available as patches only. And you were forced to compile
qmail yourself, if you like to have ldap support, because of the very
strange license.
Postfix is well maintained and get's actively developed. And it provides
you all needed features.
In my opinion you should not count only on speed but also how easy you can
maintain a system.

Thank you. I am actually looking for some comparising data about speed.
As far as 'easy', yes postfix is easy, but after using sendmail anything
looks easy.
I don't mind compiling and recompiling if the program will work faster.
I read somewhere on qmail site that they were able to send 45 million
emails in one day from one machine vs about 9 million with postfix. I
wonder if this is true?
