Qmail

We now use qmail for all our mail needs. We use qmail because it is faster, more secure and more flexible than sendmail. We also install qmail for our clients. Using qmail allows us to easily pre-filter incoming email to various mailboxes, which are then processed with perl scripts and delivered to mailboxes which are managed using exmh. We make use of the flexibility in several ways: Our outgoing email is all pre-processed using a perl script to generate SPAM resistant addresses. We have some ezmlm-based mailing lists which are very fast and require next to no administration overhead due to ezmlm's VERP processing. We have addresses which forward to alpha pagers. We have addresses which get email from digests that are automatically undigestified. We have addresses which automatically, and silently, filter certain messages which are known to not be of interest. We hope to make more of these scripts available in the near future.
