exim - smail - sendmail: my experience.
I regard myself still as a newby as far as linux is concerned. I have
been using smail for about a year now.
After receiving a cd with Debian 1.3.1 on it, I decided to try out the
exim as well. I have read somewhere that it is faster and easier to
configure than the others. Not for me. I could not get it working
properly. The configuration script looks like smail's. The same answers,
however, does not have the same effect. So I removed exim again. I think
I have tried it out about 5 or 6 times now without success.
I then tried out sendmail and was impressed by the configuration script.
When I tried to send mail, however, it seemed to take ages to receive mail
from pine. I supposes that I did something wrong in the configuration
process. Manual configuration looks very complicated, so I removed
sendmail again.
Now I am working with smail again...
Johann.
