| as far as i know qmail-smtpd can't be run as a deamon but from ident
| (or similar djb's server)only.
Yep.
| since this is really unefficient..
Only on architectures where fork and exec are expensive, which as far
as I know is not the case for most modern unixes.
| are there any patches to this ?
I don't think so. Of course, you can run any smtpd that you wish,
once you teach it to talk to qmail-queue (which is quite simple). I
don't know if there are alternative smtpd's out there that are already
made to do this.
| is qmail-smtpd considered clean of bugs ?
Yes, but some of its features are occasionally hotly debated on this
list, for example its treatment of isolated linefeeds or the lack of
support for certain antispam features. (We don't really want to
restart these flamewars now. Please have a look in the list
archives.)
| i can't trust qmail efficency notes

| doesn't sound too real, & it ain't: RH is running Sendmail.
What do you mean? There are lots of RedHat systems out there running
qmail. So what if it comes equipped with sendmail as default?
