If you cannot make it better then I would encourage you to keep your opinion to yourself .

The solution is there but you need to know what you want and how you want it .

Good luck with your test & possible adaption of netqmail

We are a few hundreds of thousands on the list & our opinions will not count if you already have your own bias . At least you are frank you said how you view things and I respect you. Learn programming and modify the code to suit all the aspects you do not like and see getting obsolete. Your vigor is good if used to build and carry on the email legacy rather than when it’s aimlessly running against the legacy of qmail. 

Get the good points and leave the bad ones out. I stand to be corrected too
