Qmail At 10 Years — Reflections On Security 304
os2man writes "Qmail is one of the most widely used MTAs on the Net and has a solid reputation for its level of security. In 'Some thoughts on security after ten years of qmail 1.0' (PDF), Daniel J. Bernstein, reviews the history and security-relevant architecture of qmail; articulates partitioning standards that qmail fails to meet; analyzes the engineering that has allowed qmail to survive this failure; and draws various conclusions regarding the future of secure programming. A good read for anyone involved in secure development."

I've encountered problems with users sending to multiple recipients in the same domain from a Yahoo! account, where Qmail sends the email not just once, but N times (where N is the number of users), resulting in N^2 emails being processed by the recieving server.
I conclude from this behaviour that Qmail is fundamentally broken, and am a firm believer in Postfix (all hail the mighty Big Blue!).
