Doesn't everything do virtual domains these days? Sendmail has had them for ages, although perhaps not quite the same way. And everything that can use procmail for delivery (the default for sendmail in Centos) can deliver to maildirs. > And let me throw in to the ring, there's a nicely RPM packaged Qmail > package conglomerate at http://www.qmailtoaster.com/ And we all know > that packages are the way ahead, right? :) > > Complete with CentOS instructions > http://www.qmailtoaster.com/centos/cnt40/EZ-QmailToaster-CentOS-4.3.txt > > Personally, I hack around with the SPECs before building to strip out > the MySQL and other features and just use Qmail listening on localhost > only for the very final Maildir delivery after messages have been > dealt with by MailScanner and Sendmail, then Courier and VPOPMail for > POP3 and IMAP. It's a very bad idea to let an unmodified qmail accept mail directly since it accepts all addresses, then later generates bounces to the ones that it can't deliver. A dictionary attack will bury your outbound queue. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
