We (SME Server) chose qmail way back in e-smith days and it has served
us well. We have, to the best of my knowledge, fully complied with Dan's
licensing conditions and Charlie is providing his advice based on many
years of dealing with this particular issue. Charlie's proposal is now
the "accepted" (by Dan) way of compiling under Linux.
In any event, the current instructions work and I've
decided stay away, far away, from DJB code after all of this.
That's fine, but some of us have been using it for many years and it has
served us well. On a personal level, I have dealt with sites with
"improved" qmail and I am firmly of the opinion that Dan is right -
qmail should be qmail and anything which isn't qmail shouldn't call
itself qmail. The fact that only he can improve qmail is a significant
issue.
One of the (many) things which interests me about qpsmtpd is the Postfix
backend and one of my longer-term goals for the SME Server is to migrate
from qmail to Postfix. We have already moved from daemontools to runit.
Thanks,
Gordon
