you really don't have a clue what you're talking about, do you?
having default values is "bad design"? yeah, sure.
having a tool that can easily show you where your configuration diverges from
default is "just a workaround for bad design"? right on, genius.
i hope nobody's paying you good money for systems administration work.

do you always have a problem confusing authoritative information with religion?
perhaps you should seek medical help for that.

i've hardly bashed exim at all.
there are many things i could have said about it that i haven't because it's
just not worth turning this into a is-so/is-not flame war. most people in
this thread are actually debating the features/issues rather than descending to
personal attacks. if you try hard, you might learn some useful social skills
from them. if not, then well...what can i say...people like you exist to
attract flames.
i've concentrated mostly on pointing out postfix's advantages instead or
answering questions about it (this reply to you not included, obviously).

i really wish they would *match* my "level of untruthfulness" rather than
greatly exceed it, then there would be nothing but well-informed accurate
information in this thread.
