Then maybe such companies should either
-- use the server of their ISP
-- get a qmail consultant on a retainer basis
If they want to run an SMTP MTA, they should know what
it entails. Why pay maintenance for a machine, or an
accounting package, but not for the MTA?
The fact that qmail and Linux don't cost them any money should
be an added incentive to employ a computing-knowledgeable
person, or to buy the service from a local consultant.
