I wonder > which is the best: qmail, postfix, exim or other? As others have noted, this is a bit of a religious issue. However, you may be interested to know that the FreeBSD mailing lists are handled by postfix, and that the folks at pobox.com use postfix as their MTA. In addition, postfix is designed to be as much of a drop-in replacement for sendmail as is feasible, while other MTAs (such as qmail and perhaps exim) are not. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
