I heartedly agree. Daniel has beaten all known records for the rate at
which one may create own enemies. He kept silent and quiet for many years,
maybe so people may forget him, but I've no proof the guy is different.
Note that I never had problems personally with him, but seeing how he
behaved with many, many others, I just do not want that guy in my life.
Besides, whatever the license is, however competent is the writer, haughtily
maintained software is never as free as it appears to be. When someone is
spitting on you and you may not easily run away, you just can't feel free.
The best way to not become dependent on Qmail is to never start using it.
