The problem with looking for info on this is that a lot of the high listed articles in Google etc are from way back when, 2000 - 2007 during which time quite a bit can change. So what are peoples current day experience with the two options? A few key question come to mind:- 1. Has sendmail's config moved away from the black art it once was? 2. Is postfix that much easier? 3. What would people use for: 3.1. POP / IMAP support? 3.2. Web Mail? 3.2. AV / Spam filtering? Any advice, opinions on a full mail solution on FreeBSD would be appreciated.
