Re: orbs.org accuses qmail of mailbomb relaying!

[markd]

I'm not really going to re-enter this recurring fray, but it is
amusing to note that web browsers open multiple connections at once
in an effort to speed up their perceived performance. I don't see
much push to stop that sort of greedy behaviour.

They also repeatedly fetch exactly the same data. Does anyone
care to calculate how many times the exact same stream of bits, let's
say the home page of amazon.com, has been sent down their connection
over the last six months?

A greedy ant maybe, but rarely relevant compared to that 
800lb gorilla/hydra combo, we call web-browsing.

As others have repeatedly said, if you're in that rare situation that
demands something different, use it, or write it. qmail was never
designed to meet every requirement out their and the author has made
it abundantly clear which ones are important to him.
