Qmail's "non-free" to Debian because the author doesn't allow distribution of binaries (or something like that). Debian's "free software guidelines" don't allow such a license to be considered "free". Qmail is _fine_ software, especially if you judge by size of source and binaries and by elegance of implementation. I've used it for several years, and find I waste much less time fighting MTAs (primarily used smail before). It's free (of cost and encumbrances to redistribution) by almost any definition; but not by Debian's. The reasons for this are probably good. -- Steven Work Renaissance Labs [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360 647-1833
