Another thing. If something DOES have a security hole in it, ie. qmail and
sendmail at the same time, i can pretty much guarantee you that since
sendmail is on the larger percentage of machines it will be the first one
that the scr1pt k1ddez target and exploit.
(the modularity of qmail makes it much more secure then a single bloated
program running as root)
Qmail has been proven to be a more robust solution.
IMHO qmail is easier to learn and just makes much more sense.
The qmail list ROCKS :)
What more could you ask for?
