> Netqmail 1.06 is produced by this motley krewe
- amfsn 7y agoDoes using warez slang automatically make software less secure and slower?
- Fnoord 7y agoIt reduces confidence because warez is associated with running cracked software of which you don't know exactly what was modified/added/etc.
- jameskegel 7y agoMy how far we’ve come in such a short few years.
- Fnoord 7y agoEh, not sure what you mean, but yeah some DRM is obnoxious and almost spyware. Warden, World of Warcraft's DRM, is for example profiling your system hard.
- rootlocus 7y agoIt speaks to the priorities, attitude and / or the work ethics of the developers involved. I wouldn't trust people who care about using teenager slang and looking cool to write secure and efficient services that I could use in production with customer data. I may be wrong, but my confidence is still low.
- schmonz 7y ago"This implementation" is notqmail, which none of the netqmail people are involved in. netqmail 1.06, which none of us notqmail people were involved in, was produced by a handful of people I have often referred to as "list elders". They were very informed, very conservative, and very careful. Nothing wrong with heuristics. It's a busy world out there. I appreciate that you're aware you're using one here, and I thought you might like to know it's led you astray. As a notqmail developer, I hope we live up to the standards set by the netqmail folks.
