I've been using qmail in various situations for quite some time now and, though I am definitely no serious security expert, I've never had any problems with it. I've use standalone installations, as well as qmail with all of the goodies (vpopmail, ezmlm, webmail, qmailadmin, sslwrap, etc, etc) in both private and public environments (on shell hosting servers, etc) and it's never once been the source of a security compromise (not in my experience anyhow). Also you can still use the mailfile (mbox (?)) format with qmail, you just have to configure it a little differently. The info on doing this is in the docs that come with email (something like README.MBOX or some such...)
Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Billy D Walls [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 7:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Q-Mail, Or How Paranoid Are We Today. I recently moved from sendmail to qmail, and so far I'm amazed at A> The ease of use of "qmail the easy way 1.51" B> The annoyance of Maildir. My travels across the internet and to various qmails sites tell of vast security promises and the like, and the changelogs for qmail show there isn't much security vunerabilites, even relaying isn't a trouble by default. ... But has anyone had any problems with it anyway? P.S. Yes, I've RTFM and used google. Just looking for any lose ends. ;) _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
