Frankly speaking, I have no experience with other MTAs. But qmail
was installed by me "from scratch", i.e. I really had no any experience
with MTA or even Linux.

Agreed. Not so simple for newbie. I've experienced some funny problems
with one wrong letter in the config file :).

Yes, I know about it. Agreed again.
Somebody said "agressive personality". That's the thing I newer forget to

OK, it is time to taste postfix. Knowledge - that's why I am spending my
time
on mailing lists! :).
Thanks Martin!
