Re: new sendmail...?
well - qmail config files are MUCH friendlier than the ones of sendmail.
it's amazing mailer - simpler than sendmail to work with (esp. with
virtual domains) much more secure (arround 100 lines running as root - the
rest runs in 6 different users), and has a lot of nice thigns. I highly
recommend working with it - though I've never tried runnig it on a machine
with over 100 active mail users..... so I can't give my opinion on how
well it works with massive traffic.
Ofer.
