Re: Mail server recommendations?

I whole heartedly agree. To look at the source and patches and all, it's
pretty ugly. I'd sure hate to assemble a qmail system from scratch.

I do like the architectural design of qmail though. Very modular. I've toyed
with the idea of writing a next-generation MTA, maybe called rmail (r comes
after q and stands for Ruby!).
