I've implemented qmail in a number of environments, including small to
medium sized ISPs, research groups, and private companies as well. One of
the main complaints has always been the amorphous "problem with large
attachments".
I can't imagine that this could be entirely the OS's fault, considering this
tends to be a consistent problem regardless of architecture or OS.
There was some discussion a while back regarding where qmail was in all of
this, and what was planned for the future, but i can't seem to find it now.
Has this been written off as "not a qmail problem", or is there current work
to explore this.
(I'm not bashing qmail, i think qmail's great. Just wondering where this was
headed.)
