Re: Sendmail vs. Postfix...
I'm sorry, it wasn't for me. I installed postfix from ports and stopped sendmail, postfix still didn't start though (it had port 25 open, but didn't respond to it). Eventually I reverted to sendmail. I'm on FreeBSD 5.0 BTW. I do have postfix running fine on Linux, I might add. On Wed, 2003-09-24 at 21:43, synrat wrote: what do you mean postfix is hard to setup ?

Re: Sendmail vs. Postfix...
Ok, maybe I am little slow but I have 12 domains, with sendmail I could set them up in local-host-name, and I could set up what computer that had rights to send mail in relay-domains, and I don't see where you can set up mysql part and where to set up that users need a password to send mail.

Re: Sendmail vs. Postfix...
Quick question. How hard is it to set up Postfix. I am getting tried of Sendmail. Is it hard to set up Postfix to access passwords so that the only mail can be sent. I've been running Postfix after migrating from Sendmail for the better part of a year now. I found it much easier to set up in the areas of virtual hosts, authentication, relaying and content filtering. I'd suggest starting with the Postfix documentation at www.postfix.org. You will also find several helpful README's in the source distribution, just 'cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix make extract' and you can browse through them before you decide to build and install it. You might also consider joining the Postfix mailing list, as it's a better place for questions on Postfix than this list. I'll warn you in advance though, RTFM, because they can be a bit hostile if you appear not to have.

Re: Sendmail vs. Postfix...
I have used postfix and sendmail on both linux and FreeBSD and I definitely prefer postfix. For starters, its security track-record is much better. Also it was very easy to ste up a system that uses mysql with virtual domains, SASL for relay authentication (also interfacing with mysql) etc... I have horde, postfix, postfix's SASL, and courier imap all using the same tables in mysql for users. I don't know if sendmail can do all this, but I'm sure postfix can do it more easily and in a more secure manner.

sendmail vs postfix
I´m using sendmail with imap-uw and FreeBSD 4.8, with one domain. I´m planning to add several domains, and wanted some recommendations about which MTA is used the most with FreeBSD for this. Could you please help me out?
