It is meant to be a replacement for the entire +sendmail-binmail system that most UNIX hosts use. + +Although qmail holds security and reliability as its top two +priorities, it is also fast. On a Pentium under BSD/OS, qmail can +easily handle 200000 separate messages per day that are injected +and must then be delivered to local mailboxes! + +Security and reliability are qmail's two strengths, however. The +qmail package ensures a message, once accepted, will never be lost. +An optional new mailbox format, maildir, even lets users safely +read their mail over NFS, while still accepting new mail deliveries. + +The following features are supported: host and user masquerading, +full host hiding, virtual domains, null clients, list-owner rewriting, +relay control, double-bounce recording, arbitrary RFC 822 address +lists, cross-host mailing-list loop detection, per-recipient +checkpointing, downed host backoffs, independent message retry +schedules, a drop-in sendmail replacement, and more! |
