RE: MTA choice

["Jeremy Gaddis" <jlgaddis@blueriver.net>]

If you're familiar with sendmail, why not stick with it?  I've used
it for years and continue to do so for the simple fact that I haven't
the time to figure out how to do everything using [qmail|Exim|Postfix|
other MTA].  If you *do* have the time to learn a new MTA, knock
yourself out.  Exim is Debian's default, qmail is probably the most
secure, and I've heard good things about Postfix.  Flip a quarter or
something, knock yourself out.  :)

Subject: MTA choice


I'm just about to start configuring a mail server with IMAP support on a
new
Debain 2.2r3 install.  Does anyone have any views on the best MTA - no
flame
wars please ;-)

I was looking to install Postfix with Cyrus for IMAP support.  I need to
check
up on the folder and sub folder handling of the IMAP side of things, but
having
noticed that Exim is installed by default with Debian I thought I'd
re-evaluate
my choices.

I've only really used Sendmail so far.  Had a brief look at Qmail and
didn't
like the way you configured aliases much.  Anyone got any comments?
