Um, no. As the original poster stated qmail is now in the public domain, which means there is not only no restrictions to its distribution, there's not even any license anymore.

Well, that is excellent. I was not aware that it had been placed into the public domain.

Perhaps now someone could get a project together with some traction to integrate all of the best patches into qmail and make a technologically recent package that doesn't have to have 15 patches applied to get anything resembling a recent feature set.

I for one would love to see inter7 take the lead on such a project, as they have a proven track record and as far as I can tell, know qmail quite well.


And please try not to top-post :)

I'll never understand why people don't like top posting. I find it easier to read, but lets not get OT on this; I'm sure it's been argued about before.
