Re: s/qmail vs qmail with John Simpson's combined patch

Hi Niamh,

since I'm the author of s/qmail ... I'm not entitled to give an advice.. 

What I get from my users however, is this:

- Switching to a different 'platform' requires a steep learning curve. 
- Processes and scripts/setup needs to be accustomed. 

I tried to keep binary + API compatibility as close as possible to vanilla qmail.
But for the rest ... 

Thus: Do some tests on a VM and get accustomed to s/qmail. Your own experience is certainly the most reliable source.

Regards.
--eh. 

PS. Currently, I'm working on release 3.4.
