qmail
open-in-new
<p>qmail is a <a href="/facts/Mail_transfer_agent/9SJG5sbb">mail transfer agent</a> (MTA) that runs on <a href="/facts/Unix/0pNL2seI">Unix</a>. It was written, starting December 1995, by <a href="/facts/Daniel_J._Bernstein/KQLuMRTx">Daniel J. Bernstein</a> as a more <a href="/facts/Computer_security/7E5dIy7G">secure</a> alternative to the popular <a href="/facts/Sendmail/NBXSd1JA">Sendmail</a> program. Originally <a href="/facts/License-free_software/buUIAD0F">license-free software</a>, qmail's <a href="/facts/Source_code/o9J6Jv23">source code</a> was later dedicated to the <a href="/facts/Public_domain/YWKMDKw4">public domain</a> by the author. </p>
