I too like postfix. However, the server on which SM is installed is a virtual domain server. The major packages of Apache, Sendmail, and so on are installed in the root system. As a result, I could not uninstall Sendmail, but only turn it off. Then I could install Postfix. Unfortunately, I pay for disk space on the virtual machine but not on the host root system (Sendmail does not count against my quota). I guess I could do that, but would prefer to find a way to have SM work with um-imap/sendmail or find an imap that works with sendmail. If anyone has other suggestions, I would be interested in hearing them. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc.
