To people who have familiarity with both postfix and exim4, is postfix reallyeasier (in a variety of senses) than exim4? LIke to install, setup, and use? I tried to set up postix back near the beginning of my Linux odyssey, maybe sometime between 2000 and 2004 and eventually gave up and just went with an MUA (kmail).
I can't say Postfix is 'better' or 'easier' than any other mail server (sendmail excepted), but I can say that I rely on it to do what is expected and I'm now confident enough to run it in high risk applications.
For me, there are only a few packages that get into that grade - bind9 and Kamailio/OpenSIPS are two. Perhaps openSSH as well?
With all packages it pays to read the official documentation many times and also work out what are reliable non-official sources. There is an awful lot of crud out there, either bad to start with, or out of date.
