Recently switching from sendmail to qmail I have observed the difference in
architecture between the two. The modularization of qmail appeals to me
in both simplicity and elegance, and it's superiority was evident in my
smtp benchmarking between the two MTAs. The only thing I miss from an admin
standpoint is the readability of sendmail's logs vs. qmail/multilog.
While I fully understand the justification of qmail's logging structure
because of it's modularization, I am still left somewhat longing for a
more readable logfile. Possibly over time I will develop a
better skill for reading these logs, but for now that's my only concern
since switching. There may be tools to aid in this, however out of
the box this doesnt seem to be the cause.
Just my thoughts since running qmail for about a week.
