    Wasn't able to find anything that verifies your assertion. However, the US allegedly allowed the USSR to acquire control software for the Trans-Siberian gas pipeline that enabled the US to blow it up:

    > how exactly are you supposed to mail one coupon to two people?
    Yes, if only some of that fictional technology like the replicator was available today. Imagine being able to copy an image from one place to another using photons, such an invention might be called a lightduplicator.

    qmail is free, but the license is not GPL or on the list of licenses approved by the outfit that approves free licenses (OSI?).

    You can download it without monetary exchange, install it where you like, modify it, etc.

    You cannot modify the source and distribute it. You can distribute the unmodified source tarball with patches that modify it, like an SRPM. You can distribute binary versions as long as the files are the same as would be created by installing from an unmodified source tarball.

    RFC-2821 for another. RFC 2821 and RFC 1123 for two more

    qmail predates RFC2821, but there is a patch to bring it up-to-date if an adminstrator so desires. What part of RFC1123 does it not comply with?

    The difference is that while Postfix CAN reject based on HELO etc...qmail seems to do so by DEFAULT.

    qmail does not reject based on HELO.

    adheres to RFCs(and there's a warning for any configuration option which would violate said RFCs)

    What RFCs does qmail not comply with?

    such as making sure the claimed hostname in the HELO matches the IP the connection is coming from

    You're aware that rejecting mail based on HELO violates RFC 1123?
