Shorten your shortlist with this helpful sed command.
$ sed s/qmail//g shortlist > shorterlist
I've been using qmail for the last five years, and I don't like it.
It's too loosely coupled for my taste -- zillions of little config
files hold it together and when it isn't working it's just a guessing
game which config is missing/wrong. When it *IS* working, it's just a
guessing game how it's using its config.
Sendmail is the market leader and has the best-developed ecosystem.
OTOH, sendmail is the oldest and cruftiest and has features left over
from networks that are no longer used, e.g., csnet, uucp, DECnet.
Oh, my mistake. Patrick still uses them. (-: But he's the last.
I've used exim and postfix a little, but not enough to have a real
opinion of them.
