Re: Handling Mailing List Bounces

If you are considering *EASE OF USE* of an *MTA* for mailing lists,
then qmail is indeed a contender.

The above sound like the kind of things one would expect of a mailing list
package (e.g. majordomo) rather than an MTA.

An MTA may provide fairly basic list processing facilities, but ML packages
are likley to be better suited for serious sized lists.
The MTA can provide useful info (such as qmail's tracing) and appropriate hooks
for the ML package.
Don't compare chalk with cheese !
