Look, I know this is a flame bait question. I was interested in trying Postfix because I thought it may be more customisable and easier to set up. However, I had trouble getting it to work because it complained that port 25 was already taken: postfix/master[1011]: fatal: bind 127.0.0.1 port 25: Address already in use I think this was due to inetd binding this port for some reason. I had upgraded from Exim and it was gone and there was no other smtp daemon running. I didn't try telnetting into port 25 but I did comment out the smtp part in inetd.conf and it still wouldn't run. I also checked with ps aux and there was no hint of exim.
So my question is, should I bother with postfix? Is it easier to customise, edit headers etc? Is it more robust? What are some of the advantages that made some of you change to postfix? Regards. Mark.
