Anyone here hear of courier (www.courier-mta.org)? It looks pretty nifty,
and I was playing around with it some last night; seems to address some of
qmail's shortcomings, and also has the kitchen sink when it comes to
adaptability (IMAP, POP, web front-end, etc.). While I certainly grant
that Sendmail is the mother of all configurability, I like the fact that
corier rolls everything into one (modularized) package.
