Qmail is another road, but in my opinion qmail will start showing its seams

Qmail is very heavy on the concept of queues, it's even worse than postfix in this regard. And it's a quirky as it's opinionated author. For those who think I'm opinionated they've seen nothing like this...


Qmail does scale, but it's sh*tload of queues and one line files drives me nuts.

I prefer exim. It's one single image, no queues, and very Apache-like in both it's processing and its single config file. It also features very robust ACLs (that for the most part eliminate the need for SpamAssassin and ClamAV), embedded perl, and can reject messages before accepting them (unlike Qmail and Postfix) so the spam never even enters your system.
