Hi Russ, John, and Jason,
I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my question about the ORBS
opinion. I felt I should check it out before installing qmail and
unexpectedly becoming an infamous generator of denial of service attacks!
Russ, I appreciated hearing some of the background issues in communication
difficulties between the ORBS and qmail groups.
John, I started to shrug it off when I read it because I had the exact same
thought immediately that you expressed, which was why would an mta that
supposedly "generates denial of service attacks" be especially suited to
being a mailing list server? It seems to me that it would be especially
UNsuitable for that task.
Jason, I agree with you that there is no real distinction between list
subscribers and regular mail recipients. You can get an equally high volume
either way, and not all lists restrict the members to text only emails. Some
lists promote the html email, but these lists are of course usually not
technical lists.
Thanks for the feedback!
