Is qmail not a "free software product" ? What is a "free software product" ?

I do not know .qmail well -- is there no chance of a .forward file generator,
or is it the effciciency that concerns you ?

Err -- I am lost ...
The de facto format (sendmail .forward file) is not sufficiently powerful,
so you have to move to a "prorprietary" format.
You want to use the qmail prorprietary format, rejecting the exim one as it is
prorprietary ??

What are the two means you are comparing ?
What level of "effciciency" are you talking about here ?
How many CPU cycles are involved, and how many do you get per second ?
