Is that possible? Exim rocks I've used it for about 8 years.. Postfix is excellent I've looked at it and it seems pretty easy to work with, I think some may like it better as it can be administered through webmin (exim you can't), especially if you want to give some admin privileges. Sendmail's configuration is not trivial. I much prefer using Maildir to store mail, works much better when dealing with a lot of users with a lot of mail.
