Sendmail gets more modern all the time, but m4 is quite the beast for configuration files. Still, if you learn it you'll be an aid to any project still using autoconf. >Popcon data >shows 19% usage of Postfix and 69% of Exim which appears to support this >theory. Popcon data is going to biased in favor of Exim as many users will get it by default when cron or anacron is installed. I've found exim4 to be quite easy to configure, but not entirely intuitive. The documentation is a required read if you need to do anything not handled by the debconf setup.
