I don't see much difference between then and now, it's the same thing. Giving Qmail to the public domain, in my opinion, is a bad move. Now x, y and z versions of Qmail will start to pop-up each and everyone of them with their installation methods and alterations to the original code. I don't

Maybe i didn't expressed myself clearly enough :) A patch is a patch not a binary distributed package on which you do not have any control, and if you need to change something you need go back to compiling from sources which we already do anyway. A toaster will continue to exist beyond the

That is really awesome. I am wondering if this will make a lot of toaster scripts obsolete. We can now precompile qmail and distribute it in binary form. May we not? -sasa
