If you are not installing the MTA for them school them about the history of sendmail and other MTA's, dont make it long and boring , just for schooling purposes, touch each MTA and explain why each is used and not used if you can get into that nitty gritty detail. If you are installing the MTA for them i would suggest you go with Exim or Postfix they have proved to be very good and easy to get along with while secure also. cheers David > Yes, I've been reading /. :) > But this isn't the first time this has occured to me. > > With all the security vulnerbilties, would it be unreasonable to either > change the default MTA from sendmail to Exim/Qmail/Postfix, or give > people the option of installing something instead of Sendmail at > install time? > > -- > Avleen Vig "Say no to cheese-eating > surrender-monkeys" Systems Admin "Fast, Good, Cheap. > Pick any two." > www.silverwraith.com "Move BSD.
