[EMAIL PROTECTED] rearranged electrons thusly:
> How does exim compare with sendmail? I've never used exim before. Do you have
It's much easier to configure, for starters - and some things (like fancy
rewriting, writing transports and directors for routing mail) are far easier in
exim than in sendmail.
> to be on your toes for bug reports for exim (like in sendmail)? The
Sendmail has been quite bug-free since 8.9.3 onwards (current - 8.11.3, 8.12.0
is in public beta now). There was, of course, a linux kernel bug in pre 2.2.15
kernels which would affect sendmail's security - but that's not a sendmail bug
at all.
_Any_ software you use frequently needs to be monitored for bugs / upgrades
etc, that said.
Exim has also been very stable - any of the 3.x versions will do. The 3.2
versions went through a rapid upgrade cycle to fix assorted minor bugs though -
but it's stabilized at 3.22... so use either exim 3.16 or 3.22 for best
results (we run both these versions on ~ 25 servers, no problem at all)
