No other MTA supports the range of mail transfer protocols and customizable (sp) that sendmail supports. The cost of this flexibility is a somewhat more complicated configuration mechanism.....this is not surprisinbg ;) sendmail has the largest carde of trained administrators. the sendmail oreilly book is excellent. i am sure that sendmail will continue to improve. you cant go wrong using sendmail. it may not be the absolute best tool for every job. Sendmail is a very good MTA for nearly every job. jmb -- Jonathan M.
