As folks who know and use qmail, I could really use your feedback.

I maintain qmail and qmail-run packages in pkgsrc, a cross-platform Unix 
package manager. We ship quarterly releases and will soon be shipping 
2018Q4. I want to make sure the many improvements I've made since Q3 -- 
most notably acceptutils -- work well on a variety of platforms and 
behave in ways that make sense to qmail users.

I've done some testing myself, and can vouch for CentOS 6 and 7, Debian 
9, Mac OS X 10.14.2, FreeBSD 12, OpenBSD 6.4, Tribblix m20.5, and of 
course my NetBSD 8 mail server where I run these packages in production.

I've also had usability testing from a friend who uses NetBSD, pkgsrc, 
and qmail.

Even if you _don't_ use pkgsrc (guessing few of you do), if you'd be 
willing to use it temporarily, please

1. Bootstrap pkgsrc-current
2. Try installing mail/qmail-run and pkgtools/rc.d-boot
3. Reply off-list with your findings:

- Your OS, version, and architecture?
- Did packaging or installation break anywhere along the way? (Logs 
appreciated)
- Did you have to learn anything to get qmail running? (Details 
appreciated)
- Does it seem to work?
- Would you maybe actually consider using it? (I'd love to know why or 
why not)

Here's what I know so far: https://schmonz.com/qmail/pkgsrc-qmail-run/
