Chris recommends sendmail. John does not and prefers qmail. (FWIW, I prefer postfix.) But the statement sendmail is recommended is at best misleading. YOU recommend sendmail and you phrase the response like it is a generally accepted statement when it is far from it. I'd look at qmail, postfix, and sendmail. I suspect you will decide to ditch sendmail after a week of trying to understand configuration files, but you may love them. :-) If you don't need anything special, the defaults do work. MC files make life much easier than in the old days, too. Qmail and postfix are MUCH easier to configure and Postfix was written with security in mind from the beginning by the guy at IBM who brought us tcpwrappers, so tends to do the right things from the start with little chance of buffer overflow problems and the like. But make your own choice because, other than personal opinions, none is "recommended". R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
