And "exim" does? Qpsmtpd has always been about putting out the fire of spam for me. Quench fit that perfectly. Plus I can't find any other software project called that which is a huge bonus.


"Quench" is definitely an improvement over "Qpsmtpd", except for searchability. It's true that "quench" isn't a very common word, but it would be better to have a name that's not an existing word at all, so that search results will be more relevant (that's one problem with Microsoft products, like Word, Outlook, and Access).

That said, I don't have any great ideas. You could just spell it differently: "Quentch"? "Qwench"? Or maybe something derived from "Qpsmtpd": "Qupiess"? "Qupius"? "Qupeism"? Hmm, maybe not.

What was the "P" for? perl? Queue Perl Daemon? Drop
smtp and that's "qpd".

qpsmtpd project actually appears as the third entry in

"qd" a C++ lib but evidently not a package in linux distros.
("qd" isn't a package name in debian redhat suse et al)
and you don't run a lib(it's in /usr/lib not in PATH=/bin:)
so there's no path collision for "qd".
