come on, stop trolling. on slowlaris fork() is unbelievable slow. slowlaris
is a very bad choice for any internet server. fork() is one of the most
important functions here. not only for qmail but for nearly any server,
including apache.
For the reliability you really wan't to get reasonable hardware. running any
BSD on it and you have a very reliable system. I'd prefer OpenBSD over
FreeBSD, but that's personal choice.

no, it's a slowlaris problem.

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
