It all works cleanly without a hitch. >If it ain't broke, don't fix it ;) Maybe you don't use much mailing lists or else you would appreciate qmail/ezmlm ability to handle bounces. I developed the PHP Classes site. Everytime a new class is added or update by its author, a notification message is mailed to may thosands of interested users. If it was not for qmail VERP extension, it would be a nightmare to figure who is bouncing the messages and eventually unsubscribe their addresses. If would be dealing with very large mailing list traffic, you would probably appreciate qmail ability to handle mailing queue in a dedicated server process without choking your other SMTP traffic. It's not like sendmail is a bad solution. It's more like qmail is more appropriate for growing mailing lists. That seems to be why eGroups is using qmail/ezmlm.
