qpsmtpd - http://develooper.com/code/qpsmtpd/ - is written in a way so it should be possible to make it run under mod_perl.
- ask
I was considering using qpsmtpd to front end a sendmail-driven MailScanner box that gets about 30K messages per day. The thought was that qpsmtpd would be safer to expose to the world compared to sendmail. Any thoughts on this ? The qpsmtpd would query my databases via DBI and reject email for invalid recipients, lessening the load of bounces for forged spam, etc.
Anyone else using qpsmtpd like this ? There was a review in the Linux Journal just last month on it that spoke highly of it, but that seemed targeted at an end user or smallish server.
Please, let's not start discussing the benefits of sendmail vs. some other mail server without having any relation to mod_perl on this list. Talking about integrating a mail server with mod_perl is on-topic, but a general mail server talk is a way off-topic here.
Sorry for building walls here, but we want to keep this list focused on mod_perl and not drive users interested in mod_perl away.
I'd think that you want to ask your question at the scalable list, where you'd get the right answers. Please see:
