Matts (email not shown publicly) I work for MessageLabs [messagelabs.com] in Toronto, ON, Canada. I write spam filters, MTA software, high performance network software, string matching algorithms, and other cool stuff mostly in Perl and C.
nice job! I had a forehead-slapping "duh" moment when you mentioned one of the best ways to implement qpsmtpd is leave your existing server running on a different port and just forward all the good mail to it.
(BTW, 'done' means I posted it on delicious, so that's basically telling everyone I know...)
D'oh! It was on my preview because I use the Firefox Linkification extension. For some reason I just assumed that use.perl was converting it to a link.
I think this can count as a recent "success story" for Perl:
As an example of the scalability of qpsmtpd, the apache.org mail servers currently process more than 2 million emails a day on their primary MX, rejecting more than 80 percent of it as junk — all thanks to the power and flexibility of qpsmtpd.
We were in need of those, weren't we? Recent success stories?

Would help if that was actually a link [oreillynet.com]!
