Actually Postfix setup is more easy than the others. So Postfix goes with many spammers, in recent. To tell truth, i want to take off such a dishonor. Still clean MTA by the point is Exim, i think. Many free software folks use that. But i won't change the outbond MTA (Postfix on FreeBSD 4.11-STABLE). The outbond performs so many tasks for me. Only my concern is local MTA. That is easy, no trouble though it fails. Sincerely, -- Byung-Hee HWANG, KNU ∑ WWW: http://izb.knu.ac.kr/~bh/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Anyway. QMail is something you really really really dont want to consider in any way. Its buggy its creepy and I was informed by several sources that its code and feature set are all based on _PATCHES_ that YOU as a user have to put into it. As an analogy: Vanilla QMail will make you feel like 1980s all over again. No features like mail bounce or anything. Exim I suspect is fine. I myself havent done much of any hacking/working on things like that. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
