I would argue that netqmail is not sufficiently patched, though
it is a good base from which to begin applying more patches.
I currently apply a further 14 patches to the netqmail code,

I agree. Netqmail has always been very minimal. We're thinking about a branch that incorporates the most frequently necessary patches. If we do that, though, it's not not going to be an everything-but-the- kitchen-sink distribution, it's going to be a careful assembly of heavily scrutinized patches that add the minimal code, complexity, and security risk necessary to do the job.

This is exactly what I hoped to see the SourceForge qmail project become, and I can't wait to see the results! Thanks and good luck!
