I have to replace the mail transfer agent for my Unix/Linux

stuff, like virus scanning and spam filtering, is taken care of by
the corporate infrastructure. All I need is something that can obey
a big sendmail-style aliases file, a small mailertable, a small
domains file, and a smarthost directive. The processing volume is
substantial, but not unheard-of: about 100,000 messages a day. And
this is just for the hub. All the unix/linux servers in the place
run native sendmail and forward everything to the hub.
I'm using sendmail switch from sendmail.com, but they're
discontinuing support. I think this is something that can be whipped
into shape on one of the freely available packages, but which is
easiest to work with? Something that was part of the RedHat
distribution would be a plus.
Probably best to reply to me only, and let me summarize.
Hi Tony,
Personally, I'm not a huge sendmail fan, but I think what you want is
pretty straightforward and since you already have sendmail-like support
files, you might as well stick with sendmail. I believe sendmail is
still the default for Redhat. Exim and postfix are available as
packages from several sources IIRC, but sendmail will probably treat you
fine.
My $0.02
