No other MTA I've used--not sendmail, not smail, not exim--is as easy to install, operate, and maintain. The program is idiotproof once it is installed--though you CAN break it by moving around /var while messages are in the queue. It's faster, safer, easier to use, and it has brainless maintenance. What more could you ask for? <g> Well, you could wish it were DFSG free so it could go into main, but if that cannot happen then it cannot happen though I personally do consider it free software in that I can use and patch it locally, and I can share my source patches with others, etc.. It's NOT free enough for Debian to be able to put it in main though. Naturally, the moment I see a MTA which I could put into main which is as easy and as secure/reliable which was DFSG free, I'll be happy to switch and suggest others using qmail do the same. That program's not here yet though.
