I downloaded the netqmail source from http://dbn.smarden.org/sid/ and looked briefly at it, to see if most of the well-known (some of the for 10+ years!) bugs have been fixed. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem so. The Debian packaging included surprisingly few patches, and the fixes I tested still applies to the Debian package. e.g: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/mydebs/tmp/netqmail-1.06$ patch -p0 --dry-run < ../patch-qmail-1.03-rfc2821.diff patching file qmail-remote.c [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/mydebs/tmp/netqmail-1.06$ patch -p0 --dry-run < ../patch-qmail-1.03-rfc1652.diff patching file ./qmail-smtpd.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 229 with fuzz 1. To avoid having packages starting their Debian life with a long list of serious and grave bugs, may I suggest that you take a look at http://www.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/qmail-bugs.html [1] and either include the patches or use the suggested workarounds?
