You are right, this probably is a long-term setup to avoid any possible issues. The current setup was however just temporarily to try qpsmtpd. I am impressed so much that I should just replace qmail-smtp on the 'production' machine. I only have to give it a though. The current 'production' machine is a 7 year old redhat 6.0 (2.2 kernel) machine on a remote location which was on my list to replace in a few weeks. I don't know if I will run in any problems (libs etc) if I try to install a new PERL package. (My experience with PERL is very limited, I solve most of my problems with PHP scripts). Interesting worth mentioning is that some spammers keep sending spam to the IP of the 'production' machine while I changed the (DNS) MX records more than 3 days ago to a IP of a machine running qpsmtpd. The TTL time is set to 24 hours, I wouldn't expect this after 3 days. Regards, David
