As the resident email expert, you should be recommending venema's
postfix rather than sendmail. Postfix works great for me at home and
is pitifully easy to set up. qmail is prolly for the big servers, on
my home setup,it took up more resources than a mail daemon should.
BTW, I read somewhere that allman releases a commercial version of
sendmail that is a generation ahead of the official releases that
people like us download. What is this one, closed source or something?
