Thanks, I will bear it in mind when I need to look at things again. I eventually got postfix installed using the hint, though with much gnashing of teeth, hair pulling and screaming. Though to tell you the truth, as I use LFS for my desktops, the additional features seem overkill to me, ideal for a server though.

For me, postfix has the best (aka easiest) configuration for what I require for my desktop. Sendmail comes second, the others I have tried, but never got anywhere near my requirements.
