Should I stick with Sendmail or go with one of the others? |=20 | I know Sendmail, Postfix and Qmail are all good choices, but which one | should I invest my time and braincells into? I have to learn one, which = one | should it be? I am stuck with Exim here, not that I hate it but stuck because it's one of= the best. Quite flexible in configuration and a great support forum to boot. Actually when I think MTA, Exim comes first, Postfix second and Sendmail is= a pig, as someone mentioned.
