If I didn't know one from another I'd assume those choosing the base installation knew what they were doing.
However, since I had a _Bad Experience_ with Exim some time ago with it deleting my mail, I know that in this case they didn't. I did try sendmail on woody, but discovered it's brken, and having heard good reports of Postfix, I tried that and that's what I use now.
installed Sendmail, which you don't know, raher than using Exim? Interesting... any reason for this?How about: 1. The OP doesn't know Exim just as he doesn't know Sendmail. If he's going to learn the one, why not the other;
_I_'d have started with the default.
2. The OP wants a well-known MTA, in widest use, actively developed despite its very long existence, with the best probability of finding support when needed; 3. The OP wants an MTA that is easy to configure for the simplest cases, and that is possible to configure for whatever convoluted setups you may drop it into;
