1 | Mailing list management is one of qmail's strengths. Notable features: |
2 | ||
3 | * qmail lets each user handle his own mailing lists. The delivery | |
4 | instructions for user-whatever go into ~user/.qmail-whatever. | |
5 | ||
6 | * qmail makes it really easy to set up mailing list owners. If the user | |
7 | touches ~user/.qmail-whatever-owner, all bounces will come back to him. | |
8 | ||
9 | * qmail supports VERPs, which permit completely reliable automated | |
10 | bounce handling for mailing lists of any size. | |
11 | ||
12 | * SPEED---qmail blasts through mailing lists an order of magnitude | |
13 | faster than sendmail. For example, one message was successfully | |
14 | delivered to 150 hosts around the world in just 70 seconds, with qmail's | |
15 | out-of-the-box configuration. | |
16 | ||
17 | * qmail automatically prevents mailing list loops, even across hosts. | |
18 | ||

19 | * qmail allows inconceivably gigantic mailing lists. No random limits. |
20 | ||
21 | * qmail handles aliasing and forwarding with the same simple mechanism. | |
22 | For example, Postmaster is controlled by ~alias/.qmail-postmaster. This | |
23 | means that cross-host loop detection also applies to aliases. | |

25 | * qmail supports the ezmlm mailing list manager, which easily and | |
26 | automatically handles bounces, subscription requests, and archives. |
