Now don't get me wrong, qmail is also a great product. But qpsmtpd being tied to it in such a way limits its use.

There isn't anything in "core qpsmtpd" that's tied to qmail.

I think qpsmtpd would be much more versatile if it was a completely separate and independent program. And it didn't rely on numerous qmail configuration files

You can make a configuration plugin to support whatever configuration format you want. :-)

Well, yes... And no. You see, I'm in the process of learning Perl but am not at the point yet that I can write such plugins.


or on things like daemontools.

See qpsmtpd-forkserver.

On a low traffic system it should also be possible to run qpsmtpd from (x)inetd.

Yeah, I did see that. I chose the preferred method as indicated on the website (or as I perceived anyway).

Currently, we're only working with a few hundred emails a day. But why put together a system that doesn't scale well? Hence, I decided on daemontools.

And as near as I could tell, (x)inetd is no longer supported--is that not correct? http://wiki.qpsmtpd.org/inetd
