VMmailer

VMmailer is not yet available. It is written by Wietse Vemema, one of the most well-known internet security experts. VMmailer is likely to address the same deficiencies in sendmail as addressed by qmail. Given the programmers involved, VMmailer is likely to be more sendmail-compatible than qmail. Whether this is an advantage or not depends on the trade-offs involved.

Reportedly, VMmailer will be more efficient than qmail by using only a single file per message. How much of a difference this makes and what trade-off against reliability this involves remains to be seen.
