See the e-mail related graphs at > http://murphy.debian.org/mrtg/ for a quick indication why this is so. None of them will be tested and proven to work if you don't try them. Alternatively, you could pester upstream rather heavily and see if he'd make qmail free. I've seen the copyright file for qmail-src, and your chances of doing so look good. In addition, no matter how good, reliable, efficient, or otherwise beneficial qmail is, it's still not right for Debian to use it while it is in non-free. > BTW, the correct pseudo-package is called "lists.debian.org". lists.debian.org runs on master, not murphy, although I will admit that list mail does run through it. Although I filed this on project partly because project is "Problems related to Project administration", according to reportbug. -- Brian M.
