What other MTA would you choose over qmail? After being exposed to qmail
it's hard to even think about using anything else as an MTA. I can't trust
or be frustrated by either Postfix or Courier. I can't believe Venema
used a world-writeable queue in his early design, too. That by itself is
enough not to look at it. Is there anything else worth looking at?
