Has sendmail's config moved away from the black art > it once was? Well, not really. .cf files are still .cf files but most people don't use them directly (except old farts ;-)). .mc files are the easiest way to configure sendmail (and of course tables) > 2. Is postfix that much easier? Yes. You get tables for everything as well but it is IMHO cleaner. > 3. What would people use for: > 3.1. POP / IMAP support? dovecot is the one I found the easiest to work with. > 3.2. Web Mail? Don't use it so I can't advise. > 3.2. AV / Spam filtering? clamav-milter along with milter-greylist rocks. Spam filtering is more done at the user level through bogofilter though. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr In memoriam to Ondine : http://ondine.keltia.net/
