:) what thing i can say those so many other things to
install with qmail was infact a good choice :) djb
gave us system administrators tools ( alternatives )
which is in my opinion like with many others, BETTER.
tcpserver is a replacement for inetd in qmail( inetd
has so many problems specially with concurrency and
with resources)
daemontools IS A VERY GOOD tool you should look at it
ofcourse for you people who HAVE used qmail should
know this

tcpwrappers is good but don't close your eyes there
are other tools around

postfix is good as to opinions i find postfix not my
taste, tried it but was less appealing ( and i really
love qmail + ldap :) )
> Wietse Venema seems to be a ......... well, this is
wietse and djb :) well they both have their faults and
attitude problems
matagal ng nag tutunggali tong dalawang to but their
competition made their work better
like with postfix, djb found a bug/exploit wietse
didn't admit it was, but it made postfix's security
better :)
so let those two good developers fight the more they
fight the more good tools we get lol :)
-Dek
isa lang masasabi ko use tools you are familiar and
comfortable with, it makes administration and
maintainance much easier....
