I've been considering a > switch to Qmail and had never heard of Exim. I've never used qmail; but I understand that exim and qmail are fairly similar in many respects. At the time that I chose exim, I looked at the docs for both, and chose exim because it appeared to have better virtual domain support. The exim-vs-qmail topic comes up occasionally on the exim mailing lists. You can find out more about exim, including pointers to the mailing lists and list archives, at http://www.exim.org/ -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
