Sorry for not jumping in earlier, I was out of town.
Anyway, I'm very interested in the idea of running qmail on NT. A couple
of people have pointed out that there are some places where NT comes up
short as compared to (for instance) Linux, and also that some real
reworking of qmail might be necessary to get it to run on NT.
That said, there are some places where Linux comes up short as compared to
NT. I don't want to get into a holy war over this so if you disagree with
the preceeding statement mail me privately, but I can think of some good
reasons to run qmail on NT, and I'm of the opinion that any architecture
changes can be done with a minimum of fuss and quite possible modularized
in some fashion to make it easier to keep source trees in sync.
There is a lack of a good, stable, highly configurable, fast, and free MTA
for NT. There's a number of things out there for NT that fit a couple of
these, but nothing like qmail. NT may have its quirks, but it offers a lot
of the features and services of high-end Unix systems while running on
commodity hardware.
I've been sort of toying with the idea of a port to NT, but I wanted to see
if there was any interest or work being done on this yet. So if anyone can
give me any info on any current development efforts, I'd like to know about
it. Failing that, I'd love to hear from you if you're interested in
helping out with my own effort.
