Jeez Rat, could you try not to be so wishy washy on this.. . So do you dislike qmail and every thing about it or what? I can't tell from your timid fence straddling ... he he. Another thing about qmail at least when I tried it out about 2 years ago, is that its only semi-documented. Ditto for postfix back then. Sendmail may be complicated and I don't pretend to know much about it but there are acres of documentation, and even an illiterate hillbilly like me has been able to configure it to work.
