Michael, et al -- ...and then Michael Loftis said... % % I'd highly recommend mailman over majordomo.....I'm also disinclined to % recommend qmail for a number of reasons. First is, unless they've made Real reasons, or just because you personally prefer something else? % design changes, it's trivial to DoS. Second, it doesn't scale so well, but % unless you're talking upwards of about 3-5k/msgs/hr you might not run into I haven't handled any DoS problems personally, so I can't speak to that (but find it terribly doubtful), but surely you must be trolling with your other arguments. Doesn't scale well? Heavens; it's simple and clean and scales quite nicely, and is very fast. I set up a system recently which handles mail for some 100k users (small, I know) and happily churns out 30k individual messages/hr when sending announcements. There are other large sites handling much more mail, day in and day out, who use qmail, too; surf over to http://qmail.org/ and have a read. But this probably wasn't supposed to turn into an MTA religious war; there is enough potential for that just in the list manager discussion. % it. Postfix has been my general purpose MTA of choice for a good while % now, scales well, robust handling of messages, and can do anything you want % it to. Yes, Postfix is another good choice. Really, anything except Sendmail is an acceptable choice :-) HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
