After using sendmail for many years, I finally made the jump to
Postfix, and it was well worth it. The configuration is much easier.
A useful book that I recommend is "The Book of Postfix" by Ralf
Hilderbrand and Patrick Koetter (No Starch Press, 2005)

I need a recommendation for a simple mail server for my home servers
(Fedora). I want to allow smartd (et al) to send internet email when it
detects drive errors. I'm currently receiving the following error:
postdrop: warning: unable to look up public/pickup: No such file
or directory
so I suspect I have no mail server running.
I don't need to read or manually send email on these headless systems. A
quick internet search yields sendmail and postfix as options, amongst
others. I certainly don't need a sophisticated enterprise service.
Suggestions?
