I already tried getting rid of Qmail <a href=”#”>about one year ago</a>, for various reasons. Today, while scanning my logs, I discovered that for the past 2 days, qmail was happily distributing emails to unheard-of recipients, most likely SPAM.
Holy fricking cr*p! I hate HATE H-A-T-E ! ! spam and now I find that this stupid piece of sh*t is sending out unsolicited emails.
Probably I’m to blame because of some configuration issue. I’m just so happy having chosen an email client that, after a year of running, still isn’t configured 100% secure and pops up new issues. The qmail handbook tells me that part of the motivation for writing qmail was to create an email server that was safe by default instead of requiring an expert admin (like sendmail supposedly did). Is the SMTP protocol really so crude and complicated that any SMTP server has to be a nightmare to set up?
Is there any other SMTP server where I can get smtp time spam rejection to work?
Would it be better if I just dumped my personal email domain and switched to gmail?
Maybe I’ll give courier another try. Looked very good (althought still needlessly complicated if you ask me), but I capitulated when I tried to set up SpamAssassin at SMTP time through some Perl nonsense.
