> Qmail is an offender against smtp protocol specs? New one on me,

You must be using it for several years at most. In the old(ish) times, when there were just Exim 3, Postfix, Qmail, and Sendmail, Qmail was getting quite large flak from mail admins on various forums and newsgroups. Now, not so much, but not because it got better (it didn't), but virtually nobody uses it anymore.

Oh yes, certainly. Let's do the same to replication in databases and directory services (like LDAP).
