Exim allow native CRAM, PLAIN authentication, work with MySQL&Postgres, have simple config. Postfix haven't native authenticators, only via external application. Courier also have simple config and many interesting features. P.S. If you have big mail server (~million messages per day), you may try nginx as SMTP frontend. > I am trying to plan a ISP deployment using FreeBSD.
