It is a drop-in replacement for sendmail/mailq/rsmtp. Advanced features include the ability to reject connections from known spam sites, and an extremely efficient queue processing algorithm. -- Joel Klecker (aka Espy) <URL:http://web.espy.org/> <URL:mailto:jk@espy.org> <URL:mailto:espy@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux PowerPC -- <URL:http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/>
