You're liable to get a LOT of opinion on this. Personally, the only thing I have against sendmail is that it's configuration makes me dizzy. I use Postfix, and I recommend it to most, as it does a nice job of being secure, yet easy to configure. > Furthermore, can someone recommend a decent POP3 and IMAP server? I've been using Dovecot for quite some time now. It's not even a 1.0 product yet, and I still find it excellent for both POP and IMAP. It includes support for both POP3S and IMAPS, which I find very important in this day and age. Postfix delivering to maildirs + Dovecot for POP3S/IMAPS makes a very reliable and secure setup in my opinion. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com
