[OpenIndiana-discuss] Qmail-to-go on openindiana?

[Jonathan Adams]

you could always use Sendmail ... It's reliable, and flexible, if you
can work out the configuration for it ... but Postfix is a damn sight
easier to get working.

My biggest bug bears with Postfix are the inability to use "sendmail
-bv" for testing aliases and the fact that a person in multiple
aliases will get the email more than once e.g:

managers: toddc
sales: managers, toddc

then send an email to sales and the message will go to "toddc" twice ...

You will also have to patch it if you have 'high' loads of any kind. At least with the ext-todo patch if you get injection rates beyond your hardware.

Message-ID:<4F90B513.9080505 at bradbury.edu.hk>  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi Hans, May I ask why you would want to use qmail? It has pretty weak anti-spam facilities, if at all, and so would not really be an mta you want for incoming use. If you only want to use it for outgoing then I can understand.
