How does OpenSMTPD compare to a dedicated high-volume MTA?

I was looking at the EuroBSDCon 2017 presentation on OpenSMTPD, and I was wondering how it differs from the dedicated high-volume MTA that wound up being written for the ESP. What are the features that are needed for high volume, but otherwise don't make sense? Sincerely, Demi M. Obenour

Single PR or many smaller PRs?

I created https://github.com/OpenSMTPD/OpenSMTPD/pull/1087, which fixes some bugs and avoids spawning shells when it isn’t necessary to do so. Should I split it up into multiple smaller PRs? Also, it has only been tested on Linux. Sincerely, Demi OpenPGP_0xB288B55FFF9C22C1.asc Description:

Caching of userinfo data in mda.c

How important is the caching of userinfo data in mda.c? For security reasons, I want userinfo lookups to happen in forkmda() in the child process. Sincerely, Demi OpenPGP_0xB288B55FFF9C22C1.asc Description: application/pgp-keys OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Restricting allowed MDAs

Would it be reasonable to allow the admin to configure a list of directories MDAs may reside in? I would like to only allow custom MDAs (from ~/.forward files) to be run in if they are in /etc/mail/mdas or ~/.config/mail/mdas. Sincerely, Demi OpenPGP_0xB288B55FFF9C22C1.asc Description:
