Sendmail works pretty much out of the box on most machines nowadays, if you can get it compile. > It's also less of a security problem. I disagree with this statement. I'd say that sendmail is more secure, although it's insecurities are more well-known simply because it's given higher scrutiny because it's more common. > BTW -- There's more MMDF out there than you think. > And it runs VERY WELL. I've heard of sites who used MMDF but were forced to switch to sendmail when the amount of email traffic grew beyond a certain point. I doubt MMDF could handle the email load we're seeing on freefall w/out destroying freefall for any other task. Nate
