Hi Will -- We switched to Courier (http://www.courier-mta.org/) several years back, having used qmail before that. We've found that it suites our needs very well. It behaves a lot like qmail with respect to .qmail files and its control files, and avoids many of the issues (both technical and otherwise) with (an unpatched) qmail. It's even possible to run ezmlm-idx for inbound mail under Courier; one does have to do an install of qmail for outbound stuff. (Make sure to add smtproute info into qmail so it doesn't attempt local delivery for outbound messages that are local.) Having qmail for outbound ezmlm stuff has the side benefit of creating a second queue, so that normal Courier users don't have their messages competing with the list traffic. best, Jeff On Feb 5, 2007, at 8:05 PM, Will McDonald wrote: > On 05/02/07, Jim Perrin <jperrin at gmail.com> wrote: >> > IIRC correctly, this is the (in)famous errno problem.
