Postfix was designed as a drop-in replacement for sendmail, so it's an easier upgrade path. Whilst Exim is very well documented, it's too baroque for my tastes, and *very* dynamic. That's good if you want it, but if you just want straightforward, secure, modular, yada, you're basically choosing between Qmail and Postfix. And Postfix has the leg up on straightforwardness over Qmail too. :-) > I've not heard of many exim installs in production, I know a number of > people use it for 'small' (home) installs. There are a few reasonably high profile sites running on Exim, mostly due to its dynamic stuff. - Jeff -- Fear and Loathing in Dublin, Ireland -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
