That depends on your reasons for not running sendmail itself. I

again, there is no accounting for taste, Qmail has caused me

although qpsmtpd solves one of it's problems.

Yes, it's probably as pointless as complaining about the
fragmentation of unix into sysv, bsd, solaris, aix, hpux
with their arbitrary differences back in the day, but with
free software it at least makes sense to be aware of the
prior art and use as much as you can from it. But,
I'm not saying that the project shouldn't exist, just that
sendmail has a lot of functionality to duplicate, and that
if your reason for not using sendmail was that it did not
let you control it in perl, that's not true any more.
Ok; you don't want to deal with anything but sendmail.
So please explain why you find it worthwhile to constantly try to debate
the prose and cons of different SMTP applications?
I personally love qpsmtp for the simple reason that I have yet to
need/want to hook something into it and not been able too.
For that reason I think it is great. I am not saying that a good debate
is a bad thing. But I don't C where there is anything productive coming
hear.
Now what is it you want to do that you can't?
Please don't say milter (if milter is your answer what is it you want to
do with milter that you can not currently?)
