Hi Giorgos! Actually Postfix setup is more easy than the others. So Postfix goes with many spammers, in recent. To tell truth, i want to take off such a dishonor. Still clean MTA by the point is Exim, i think. Many free software folks use that. But i won't change the outbond MTA (Postfix on FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE). The outbond performs so many tasks for me. Only my concern is local MTA. That is easy, no trouble though it fails.
