Doublestandards: KDE bad, qmail good?
: : Exim is particularly good for list traffic, as it can enqueue such
: : traffic when it is injected by the list software and then at some
: : later point send many messages to each host down a single SMTP
: : session.
: Yes, exim starts sending after qmail had delivered 90% of them ;-)
Definitely exim will do what you told it to do. And I would not configure exim for
queuing. Exim will deliver very fast.
: : It also doesn't make n simultaneous connections to recipient machines,
: : which is more friendly.
: Doesn't it? Then it will be very hard to get mail sent to aol.com,
: for example, they have all their MX refusing mail all the day.
: Concurrent deliveries are very necessary. And sendmail *does*
: simultaneous connectios to recipient machines; qmail does the same,
: but with an scheduling for each message, not for each host like
: sendmail; that is because sendmail makes lots of simultaneous
: connections to machines just revived... qmail doesn't.
Concurrent deliveries? You can have them with exim but does it make sense? If you got one
connection then stuff everything you got down it.
: Well, Dan Bernsein can have very strange ideas about licenses and
: free software, but he is a very good programmer and mta designer.
Aeeh. I think he has found a way to abuse the free software community by keeping total
control over the software yet having people work on his sources. Debian had problems with
KDE but qmail passes? KDE just depends on a non-free product. qmail actually is a
non-free proprietory work extortion scheme.
