Count sendmail in:

> There is some sort of perverse pleasure in knowing that it's basically impossible to send a piece of hate mail through the Internet without its being touched by a gay program. That's kind of funny.



sendmail is dead at this point though.


How so? As recently as 2015, sendmail, Microsoft Exchange Server, Postfix, and Exim together represented over 90% of SMTP service.

Or is this one of those pre-emptive "called it first!" kind of comments?


I think the point is that out of these 90% not so many ones are "sendmail" anymore.


As a suggestion, let's keep the homophobia to a nonexistent level, please.


That's a quote by the (gay) developer of sendmail, I don't see how quoting that is homophobic?
