Previously: >> It would appear that SendMail could do what I want [...] > >I'm somewhat biaised towards Postfix [...] How does postfix really compare to the other major MTA's? (Sendmail, exim, zmailer, and, my favorite, qmail.) If I remember correctly, postfix/vmailer is an update of smail, isn't it? The guy working on it right now (Weitse) is one of the Gods of the Internet, having created the tcp wrappers among other things. (But then again, the people working on the other packages aren't slouches either!) As a side note: sendmail isn't all that bad. On the Internet, it is used for more email than all the other MTA's put together. (In corporate America, it's quite a different story...) With the more recent versions configurable with m4, it is actually quite easy to set up, and there is a new commercial version available if you need that kind of accountability and support. If you want something good on a resume (for the non-corporate world), knowing sendmail is going to take you further than the others... >FreeBSD.org's experience with it in place of sendmail is pretty good, Postfix >is way faster and more secure than sendmail. Heehee, well, traditionally, almost anything has been faster and more secure than sendmail. That has changed and the new versions are quite good though... >BTW Outlook is not really a good Windows mail reader.
