Exim is nice but getting a little feature bloated.

I think qmail and postfix will blow the doors off sendmail or exim in terms of speed. Postfix is easily the fastest MTA I've worked with. As for support and development you've got Wietse and DJB to choose from. Wietse has been wonderful to work with; I've been with postfix since the early alpha days when it was vmailer:) --- David ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's *amazing* what one can accomplish when one doesn't know what one can't do!
