I am sure you're right. I have never tried, personally, despite using
OS X for a decade now. Never encountered the need.
I once had my BBS software running under Mac OSX, many years ago. ?I tried

recently, and no dice. Back then it just used text files to store messages,
and was very simple.

I can well believe that Debian or the like would be a better server.
OTOH, were you using Mac OS X or OS X Server?
