If Les has some improvements to make to qpsmtpd, then I'm sure they'd be
welcome. But I've seen him on lists for quite a few years, and I don't
remember ever seeing code from him. Perhaps that's why his domain is
futuresource.com.
Sorry, most lists aren't so hostile to the mention of things
invented elsewhere. Perhaps something about qmail code affects
people's attitudes. I haven't done much coding for a long time
but you might find my name (possibly misspelled) in attributions
on some old things that nobody cares about anymore. I'm not that
good at it and it's been more productive to avoid customizing
things as much as possible.
You are definitely discussing something that was invented elsewhere.
Mainly you are talking about qmail and sendmail. This is (as far as I
know) not a qmail or sendmail list. As far as I know, the people on
this list are MTA-neutral in relation to this project.
Speaking for myself, the reason why I am irritated with your
continuation of this thread is that the crux of your argument (as I
understand it) is:
Why are you using qpsmtpd with qmail/postfix? I find them complex and
insufficient for my needs. You can do the same thing with sendmail
and mimedefang. Sendmail is better and simpler. What you are doing
is a waste of time and you should do what I want you to do. I will
now continue to discuss something that does not have relevance to your
project (sendmail vs. qmail)
Did you mean something else? I would be more than happy for you to
discuss writing a sendmail-queue plugin for qpsmtpd that will allow it
to work in a sendmail environment, or to discuss getting mimedefang
working with qpsmtpd. Those topics are definitely appropriate, and I
(for one) would welcome them.
All you seem to be doing is arguing senndmail vs. qmail. If you want to
do that, move this thread to the qmail or sendmail mailing lists.
Sorry, Charlie, I couldn't resist.
