For several years, i have been using Postfix in my desktop which runs
FreeBSD. In recent, i'm considering to switch local MTA from Postfix to
the others (e.g., qmail, Exim, Sendmail, ...). So i read some papers
about comparison MTAs. But still i could not deside what MTA is best for
me using Gnus and send-pr(1). This time i would like to give +1 to Exim
because most Emacs(Gnus, Rmail, VM, WL, Mew) folks use Exim.
Especially i checked this paper: http://shearer.org/MTA_Comparison
OK, then, what do you think of?
Exim? or qmail or Sendmail or other?
Sincerely,

Sorry for the first followup was my fault.
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.

Hi Giorgos!
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,
