Aaah.. flamefest. Here's a link from the djbdns homepage comparing bind and djbdns http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/blurb/easeofuse.html As a simple example, when you're adding a new domain in djbdns, you do so with a single line in a central config file. This one line (if it's an entry for an authoriative server) will automatically add an SOA record for the domain, an NS record, an A record, record all in one go. Dan Bernstein gets pretty vehement about BIND's flaws as you can see on the BIND mailing list :) The default install is in a chrooted jail, and the $500 security gaurantee hasn't been claimed yet. There is a third-party patch on the www.djbdns.org site for building zones from sql databases. It distinguishes recursive queries and authorative servers for domains by running the functions as separate daemons. If I ramble on any more I know I'm gonna get flamed for posting random drivel.

djbdns - how does this compare to BIND? Pros and Cons?
As for qmail, in my experience its beats sendmail hands down. I pull all user data from sql tables,im not sure how well that would scale. I have had no problems with it since I set it up, pop authentication for smtp, smtp/pop over ssl, etc etc. Running, of course, with svscan and ucspi-tcp.
