No MTA shipped in this day and age should have relaying enabled by default. It should have to be specifically enabled. (In Sendmail, this is the access table; in Postfix, this is "mynetworks", I can only speak for the mailers I remember how to use :-) > People will swear by (and at!) > > sendmail > qmail > postfix Exim is used by a number of high-profile sites. The great thing is, these days there is a good choice of MTAs in the ports collection, so it's not too hard to try them all out. > I've no experince with postfix, but I've heard good things about it. I like Postfix - if you compare unmodified releases (rather than patched versions), it's more tolerant of badly-written clients than qmail (though less tolerant than Sendmail).
