I *am* the internals of an ISP -- small, (~600 customers - so far) but very
dedicated, and tho I do much more than just email, it is my responsibility
to cover that as well, so I guess you could say we have a "dedicated
employee" for mail, but it most certainly doesn't take up my whole day.
That's why I went with qmail many years ago -- once you get the learning
out of the way, it's "set it and forget it." The security of qmail alone
makes what little sleep I get every nite a little more restful. Besides, I
don't want to have to carry the "bat-book" around with me every time I
needed to change that blasted sendmail.cf file...
Speaking of books, are the qmail book authers going to give those of us on
the list a chance to purchase "limited edition, autographed" versions of
the book first???? <wink> <wink>
