Sendmail has its problems, and other MTAs, especially Postfix, do solve some of these problems. But I think it would be *much* more prudent to introduce Postfix to FreeBSD in the form of a port. It just hasn't been in the open long enough to have its bugs shaken out. It was only in the last week that some changes were made after some folks took a peek at how Postfix is implemented. The few sites who actually do need the sort of performance increases (or any other advantage) offered by Postfix could easily get it working from the ports collection. The vast majority of sites are more likely to want to err on the side of stability. Give Postfix more time to be more thoroughly reviewed before making it the standard MTA. -- Matt Curtin cmcurtin@interhack.net http://www.interhack.net/people/cmcurtin/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the messagehome | help
