actually, the opposite is true - no matter how much djb tries to deny it, wietse DID find a denial-of-service attack against qmail. qmail isn't faster either, in fact it is significantly slower when you have a lot of mail to send to the same server - qmail sends one message per recipient, always. postfix sends one message with multiple RCPT TO addresses....makes a big difference if you have a mailing list with, say, 1000 subscribers at hotmail.com. of course, if you WANT to send one message per recipient with postfix then you can do that - but it's an option, not a "feature" which is impossible to turn off. craig -- craig sanders
