I've looked at both of them a few times, somewhat in earnest when I last built my mail server, but didn't feel that they would be drop in replacements for my existing LDA needs. Perhaps my limitations are my own making. I use Maildir and want an LDA that is compatible with that. At (currently) 453 procmail recipes, I'd like something that is closer to a drop in replacement. I will rewrite things if I must, but I'd rather not if it's not required. I think one of the reasons the LDA space is languishing is that many mail servers seem to migrating to mail stores that are more centralized / virtualized under one unix account, and they come with their own purpose built LDA. The other option that Arnold mentioned, writing your own LDA, seems somewhat unpleasant to me. Can it be done, absolutely. I'm afraid that anything I would produce would likely share similar security problems that Procmail may very well have. Which leaves me wondering, am I better off using a tool with a questionable security posture and others looking at it and trying to abuse it -or- my own tool with a completely unknown security posture that nobody else is looking at. Thus I choose the lesser of the evils and continue to use Procmail. Thanks to Michael and Adam for mentioning Sieve and Maildrop (respectively) while I was too lazy to comment on my phone in bed. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
