JM2CW, 'coz there ain't no 'one size fits all'. But 'Prayer' gives us a higher performance to lower hassle ratio than anything else we have used to date. - As with Exim, compiled C, not [favorite flavor] interpreted. - Http(s) daemon built-in, - comfortable with external cache/fail-over front AND back ends, including Perdition and such like. Developed by David Carter at Cambridge, and definitely works well with Exim. ;-) Also used by several other US, UK, Canadian Universities. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
