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/ Thanks, - Amitai
