Re: Mailserver HDD organization

[Dave Kline <dave@iitedge.com>]

Though I have supported Sendmail in Big-Iron environments, I am now 
using the Default Debian Exim to serve mail.  I have been happy with 
Exim and it has served me reliably.  Yet I don't often hear its name 
used as an alternative to Sendmail.  Usually I hear Postfix or Qmail. 
Though I have used all of the MTAs I am referring to, I would like some 
quantitative and qualitative feedback.  IE, 'I use Exim to serve 3000 
people on a measly 486' or 'I used Exim and was cracked open before I 
could say Postfix' or 'Exim behaves like a lobatamized turtle.'

I know, I know, use what you feel comfortable with, but how comfortable 
are you guys with Exim?
