Sendmail On IBM Mainframes Running GNU/Linux

raffe writes: "Cnet reports that Sendmail has released a version of its e-mail server software that can run on Linux-powered IBM mainframe computers. In one benchmark test, IBM found that it was possible to house 2 million e-mail accounts on a single server, with 10 percent of the users accessing their mail at any given moment" For some reason though, IBM zSeries machines aren't listed at pricewatch ;)

    SUCK IT.

    Important Stuff:

    • Please try to keep my dick out of your mouth.
    • Try to suck other people's cocks rather than always sucking my cock.
    • Suck other people's cocks before sucking your own to avoid simply duplicating what has already been sucked.
    • Use a clear subject that describes why you want to suck a moderator's cock.
    • Offtopic, Inflammatory, Inappropriate, Illegal, or Offensive comments might be stuffed up your ass. (You can suck everything, even your own cock, by adjusting your threshold on the User Preferences Page)
    • Problems regarding your cock should be shoved up CowboyNeal's ass

    But, but, but, qmail doesn't have the "instant" root exploit (or any other exploit) like sendmail does. How are local users suppose to "get root"?

    P.S. I'm a qmail admin. I sleep at night.
