As for 'used by huge mail sites ..': host -t mx yahoo.com yahoo.com mail is handled by 5 mx4.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mx1.mail.yahoo.com. yahoo.com mail is handled by 1 mx2.mail.yahoo.com. 220 YSmtp mta133.mail.scd.yahoo.com ESMTP service ready 220 YSmtp mta117.mail.sc5.yahoo.com ESMTP service ready 220 YSmtp mta208.mail.scd.yahoo.com ESMTP service ready Looks like they're only using it for the webmail interface (ie, sending messages from a browser), they had to write or modify something else to actually handle the bulk of their mail (inbound). And how exactly do you put Qwest into the classification of 'huge mail sites'? AOL, Earthlink, Microsoft(MSN), etc all use their own solutions, if qmail were perfect, they would be using it. 220 uswgne23.uswest.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.xx.x/8.xx.x; Sun, 13 Jul 2003 14:21:40 -0500 (CDT) Qwest.com is using sendmail, Qwest.net is using qmail, how do you explain that? -- Matthew S.
