"A Short Comparison of Qtool.pl and Re-Mqueue.pl"

In writing the "Implementing a Spillover Host Concept on RedHat", two 
core solutions were put forth.  Qtool.pl and re-mqueue.pl.

For what it's worth I looked at the two solutions, Qtool or re-mqueue and
decided on using qtool.pl.    Here were my reasons:

In general, qtool.pl has more features to determine what factors are
involved in moving a message from one queue to another.  For example, you
can move based on the number of retransmission attempts, recipient, sender,
and more.  re-mqueue.pl just seems to have how long it's been in the queue.

Additionally, both seem well written but qtool has a more polished look, a
man page, and most importantly to me, is written with strict on.  I just
find that programs that take the time to use strict work better in the long
run for me.

Finally, qtool is bound only under the same terms as the sendmail license
and re-mqueue has it's own license which may or may not be compatible with
your uses.
