Hi,
 
I am a new (and happy) qmail user.
After spending days on reading various documents, man pages, how to pages, FAQ ...
some things about daemon tools are still not so clear to me.
 
qmail.org and qmail's author clearlly suggest to use tcpserver for qmail-smtpd and this is enough for me.
 
But there is not any clear suggestion for using daemon tools instead of a superserver like xinetd (inetd is out of the question).
In addition, the "install" file from the qmail source destribution has an example for using inetd to launch qmail-smtpd and pop3d.
 
On the other hand qmail-howto, and allmost every othe document about qmail, are suggesting using daemon tools.
 
Friends of mine working as administrators in medium size ISPs, are suggesting to use qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3d
with xinetd like they do.
 
All these different oppinions confused me.
 
I just want to know the best way to control qmail since I am expecting a high number of mail users.
What I am concerned is a reliable, stable and efficient mail delivery.
 
Only :)
 
 
John
