I can vouch for Postfix. The first thing I do with any new distro is replace the default sendmail with Postfix. It is high performance, modular, easy to set up/admin, highly secure, easy to chroot, etc. I've also used qmail, and though it is high performance, I find it more difficult to maintain (though not as bad as sendmail). Sendmail can do anything you need it to do, but it has a history of security problems, (all of which have been addressed). But the lack of modularity makes it harder to debug IMO, and harder to maintain. Just scrolling through the sendmail.cf makes my head hurt. Where I find postfix really shines is when you want to do complicated address rewriting, virtual domains, or use LDAP or MySQL for table lookups. It's also easy to set up with other packages (procmail, majordomo, pop3, imap, etc.). It's not that I dislike sendmail, I just really like Postfix. I think it has been IBMs greatest open source contribution to date. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Will we all fight for the right to be free? Got spam?
