You don't really need supervise to manage qmail. Though, you can always |
| 10 |
install net-mail/qmail-sumo and configure daemontools/supervise to your |

heart's content. |

Though honestly, I still run qmail out of xinetd. The arguments that |
| 14 |
were made for tcpserver over inetd were valid years ago. But things |
| 15 |
have changed and xinetd addresses many of the "issues" people used to |
| 16 |
have with inetd. |

As far as best solution goes, it all depends on your needs. |
