I've used exim and postfix a little, but not enough to have a real
opinion of them.
Postfix is the better MTA, but exim is better documented. Both are pretty
functional and easy to set up.
I've been pretty happy with Postfix, except for when i encounter
something i wanted from my previous incarnation as a Sendmail admin only
to find that it's "not implemented yet" (these tend to be obscure).
Exim has annoyed me in recent releases; the 3.x series was OK as a
lightweight fully-functional MTA, but the 4.x series abandons most of
the lightweightness. If i wanted to mess with a complete MTA i'd use
Postfix. My typical routine on new Debian boxen is to rip out a dozen
Exim4 packages (one of my many gripes ; give me one big package!) and
install either sSMTP (on a satellite machine) or Exim 3.x (on a
standalone machine).

Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right
answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
