> Why not just install qmail ? In my case I am exploring new email architectures. We have need of an email archiving system. My goal is to use a plugin in qpsmtpd. I want to use cyrus imap for the MDA. We use qpsmtpd to run virus filters. I also want to run qpsmtpd on ports 80, 587, 465, and 25. postfix or qmail would be the MTA sitting in the middle of all this.
It seems like a decent idea to cut out postfix or qmail if possible so as to run and maintain one less subsystem. You might recognize the SMTPS and ESMTP ports in my list. Are those going to be difficult with qpsmtpd? are there plugins to handle it? -- JT Moree
