Re: Sendmail vs. ?
What do you mean departure of the rbl? blackhole.mail-abuse.org still
works?
I have been researching MTAs for a little while trying to figure out what
I want to use instead of sendmail. I was looking for maildir delivery,
ease of configuration, support for virtual hosting, and virtual accounts.
Exim does all of that for me quite well. Qmail does too but I hate that
whole /var/qmail directory structure. It isn't GPL either... Exim also
has TONS of documentation. I briefly looked at PostFix and it seems like
a viable alternative as well but has less docs than exim.
