Mailing list management is one of qmail's strengths. Notable features:
|
|
|
2 |
|
|
|
3 |
* qmail lets each user handle his own mailing lists. The delivery
|
|
|
4 |
instructions for user-whatever go into ~user/.qmail-whatever.
|
|
|
5 |
|
|
|
6 |
* qmail makes it really easy to set up mailing list owners. If the user
|
|
|
7 |
touches ~user/.qmail-whatever-owner, all bounces will come back to him.
|
|
|
8 |
|
|
|
9 |
* qmail supports VERPs, which permit completely reliable automated
|
|
|
10 |
bounce handling for mailing lists of any size.
|
|
|
11 |
|
|
|
12 |
* SPEED---qmail blasts through mailing lists an order of magnitude
|
|
|
13 |
faster than sendmail. For example, one message was successfully
|
|
|
14 |
delivered to 150 hosts around the world in just 70 seconds, with qmail's
|
|
|
15 |
out-of-the-box configuration.
|
|
|
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
* qmail automatically prevents mailing list loops, even across hosts.
|
|
|
18 |
|
|
|
19 |
* qmail allows inconceivably gigantic mailing lists. No random limits.
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
* qmail handles aliasing and forwarding with the same simple mechanism.
|
|
|
22 |
For example, Postmaster is controlled by ~alias/.qmail-postmaster. This
|
|
|
23 |
means that cross-host loop detection also applies to aliases.
|
|
|
24 |
|
|
|
25 |
* qmail supports the ezmlm mailing list manager, which easily and
|
|
|
26 |
automatically handles bounces, subscription requests, and archives.
