Here is my 0,2 Eurocents worth. I don't use POP, so I have no view on that. I have used Postfix for some time under FBSD and Linux and it is, in comparison to sendmail, a dream to configure. It is fast, reliable, very secure (the author is well know for his security orientation!). It is configurable through a set of straightforward config files (none of sendmail's obscure rule syntax), can be easily run in a chroot jail..etc etc. It even has a "sendmail" program that allows sendmail command lines to be interpreted for postfix. Support via the mailing list is excellent. I would definitely check it out. p.s. I use postfix for in-incoming-going SMTP on FBSD plus a handful of Linux versions. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
