You know, I used to love reading DJBs bitch slaps in his replies to people. He was legendary in the way Linus is legendary... "...But I do know that she likes my in your face attitude" -- Bender relaying Leelas remarks on him in Futurama, S1E7. On a non-related note, I used the hell out of Qmail and DJBDNS for years. I sometimes look out into the darkness before I drift off into unconsciousness and wonder why I do not use them today.

The architecture of both qmail and djbdns are excellent. However, the lack of a clear maintenance team means that they fracture whenever a new must-have feature comes along. If you need dynamic DNS support, djbdns needs something else to handle it. If you need TLS for your mailserver, qmail needs something to handle it. Greylisting? Something else. If qmail and djbdns had communities the same size as Postfix and Knot, they would be excellent general-purpose choices.
