Matthias,
I am familiar with your views on qmail and postfix and am not
particularly interested to hear them everytime postfix and qmail are
mentioned in the same breath.
This thread is not and specifically my post was not about MTA advocacy.
Please keep it that way.

Personally, I think it is anyway. As long as mail can be sent via smtp
with little or no cost to the sender then the spam problem will just get
worse and worse until the whole infrastructure collapses.
