Charles, what happened? Quite early in the morning before coffe over there
;-)) ?
QMQP -> Quick Message QUEUEING protocol
QMTP -> Quick Message TRANSPORT protocol
QMQP is for pumping mails into a remote queue as fast as possible. Quoting
Dan:
"Note that QMQP is _not_ designed for mail injection from dumb clients that
are unable to build complete messages and envelopes. A QMQP server shouldn't
even have to glance at incoming messages"
QMQP has _NO_ relaying control. Anybody allowing QMQP injection to the world
is in fact an open relay. Nobody does (hopefully).
QMTP has relaying control and behaves like SMTP. Running a QMTP server
reachable by the world is no security risk (as long as it is qmail-qmtpd and
properly configured ;-) ).
Both are faster than SMTP. Of course QMQP is _much_ faster because nearly no
checks need to be done.

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
