Mailing list management is one of qmail's strengths. Notable features:
|
|
|
|
* qmail lets each user handle his own mailing lists. The delivery
|
|
instructions for user-whatever go into ~user/.qmail-whatever.
|
|
|
|
* qmail makes it really easy to set up mailing list owners. If the user
|
|
touches ~user/.qmail-whatever-owner, all bounces will come back to him.
|
|
|
|
* qmail supports VERPs, which permit completely reliable automated
|
|
bounce handling for mailing lists of any size.
|
|
|
|
* SPEED---qmail blasts through mailing lists an order of magnitude
|
|
faster than sendmail. For example, one message was successfully
|
|
delivered to 150 hosts around the world in just 70 seconds, with qmail's
|
|
out-of-the-box configuration.
|
|
|
|
* qmail automatically prevents mailing list loops, even across hosts.
|
|
|
|
* qlist, included in the qmail package, deals with subscription requests
|
|
safely and automatically.
|
|
|
|
* qmail allows inconceivably gigantic mailing lists. No random limits.
|
|
|
|
* qmail handles aliasing and forwarding with the same simple mechanism.
|
|
For example, Postmaster is controlled by ~alias/.qmail-postmaster. This
|
|
means that cross-host loop detection also applies to aliases.
