I'm surprised with the level of Exim4 installs, given the number of
guides on Postfix from howtoforge. I use exim4 with dovecot,
greylisting, spamassassin and clamav -- it works very well for me. Also
use SMTP auth and TLS as much as possible.
A quick search on howtoforge.com [1] presented 54 references for exim
and 28 for exim4. Postfix gave 108 results! The heavy slant seems to
be in relation to ISP config setups. I do wish there was more balance
here, granted it's only one resource.
Oh and for completeness, I thought I would run a popcorn check on exim
[2]; it still outnumbers postfix by a factor greater than 3.5 ... with
postfix is closing the gap, but it will be a while yet on current trends.
Right now, I am quite happy with my setups and I won't be switching to
postfix any time soon, if ever. Even if it does one day end up as the
new default. I normally install base minimal, then add what I want as I go.
