Sendmail names Korean distributor

Sendmail, a company hoping to profit from the widespread use of the open-source e-mail software of the same name, has named C'Quest as its distributor in Korea. The business relationship has resulted in a major customer for the company, Korean Air, which is using Sendmail running on Linux on an IBM z900 mainframe.

IBM won the Korean airline as a customer in July. Red Hat, behind competitors in selling a version of Linux for mainframes, plans to release its mainframe Linux in the next two weeks.
