To be precise, we use Exim for the smarthosts. Incoming customer mail
and delivery to customers is handled by MMDF; company staff email is
handled by Sendmail. This heterogeneity is mostly for historical
reasons -- Demon's earliest systems were based on SCO Unix which used
MMDF as the standard MTA. The Internal mail server was hacked together
overnight just to win a bet that it would be "easy" to set up a
replacement for the pre-existing system. Exim was introduced recently
as aprt of improvements to the architecture of the customer mail
system.
