If you are just curious why something like sendmail is not used, I think any choice of software is a matter of what best fits the needs you have. My guess on why Jeff goes with exim is that it is lighter weight than sendmail and is purported to be easier to configure than sendmail.

Also, Exim is the default mail transfer agent for Debian and has served mail-archive pretty much flawlessly for the last 4 years. -Jeff On Tue, 2002-09-17 at 09:31, Earl Hood wrote: On September 17, 2002 at 13:13, Kir Kolyshkin wrote: Jeff Breidenbach wrote: There are still some network details and configuration still left to do on the new machine, including: Mail Transfer Agent [exim] Can you please emphasize on why have you choosen exim?

[Gossip] data transfer status
Hi all, Essentially all the data has tranferred between the old and new hardware. I'm now running a shadow; both the new computer and the old computer are crunching away. I'm going to monitor for some time then eventually do a spontaneous switchover. Also, I've fed the many hundred thousand queued mails over the past two months to the new machine, and am curious how quickly it will burn through. You won't see the results until switchover, but I can, and it is going quite fast. There are still some network details and configuration still left to do on the new machine, including: Mail Transfer Agent [exim] Web Server [apache] DNS [bind] List Server (for gossip) [mailman] Web Logging [analog] FAQ update I've taken care of everything that needed to be done to get data transferred and processing, including some minor tweaks to the mail-archive core control software and system event logging. Overall, things are going well. Cheers, Jeff PS. 90-day inactive mailing lists alphabetically below asp have been deleted on the legacy machine. They will reappear on switchover. ___ Gossip mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
