It is not going to cause a flame-war I hope. Sendmails main advantage, is the support for milters. Although postfix has some milter support, it is not close to sendmail's implementation, making milters I used to use not-working. The only drop-in replacement are postfix's after-queue filters, which has the disadvantage of having already accepted malicient mails. Also, I think configuration for some more advanced setups are a hassle in postfix, having to have a main.cf for options, and seperate master.cf containing option for different connections (I have multiple smtp setups one 1 server). Maybe, when sendmailX is done I'll switch back. _______________________________________________ DBmail mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.fastxs.nl/mailman/listinfo/dbmail
