It's much easier to configure. That's your POV. I've run sendmail, postfix and courier for quite some time and lately I've returned to sendmail. I just like it. Working with mc files is a breeze. You don't hack a cf file unless you're a hacker. But _IF_ you are, hacking is easy too. >> I've heard it said that it's easier and less painfull to amputate > your own leg with a pocket knife then to hack sendmail.cf. :) Depends on your hacking skills.. Writing / adjusting a mc file is easier. -- Dick Hoogendijk -- PGP/GnuPG key: F86289CE ++ http://nagual.nl/ + Solaris 11 05/07 ++
