I'm pointing out technical flaws in the DRUMS documents. Ignoring me
would be a violation of the trust that the Internet community places in
the IETF working groups.

In contrast, Mark, you are spewing completely unjustified garbage.

Take, for example, your claim that qmail's delivery doesn't scale. Did
you provide even a shred of evidence to support this? No. Did you bother
to find out that people are using qmail for lists of thousands of
recipients? No. Did you bother to find out that qmail can sustain even
higher loads than Zmailer? No. Did you bother to find out about the
burst tests designed to stress different pieces of the system? No.

Another example is your pathetic attempt to suggest that qmail's
queueing strategy is like sendmail's.

If you want to go babble in the corner about ``single-threaded FIFO
queues,'' fine, but don't spread lies about my work.
