Oh sure, now you tell me. It=E2=80=99s a bit late, being well over 20 = years in. But seriously, just because someone doesn=E2=80=99t use the tool you = like doesn=E2=80=99t mean their choice is inferior. A whole hell of a = lot of servers use postfix, and you are not qualified to denigrate = people who make that choice just because it isn=E2=80=99t the choice you = like. You like opaque configuration files that punish the admin, fine, you be = you. Don=E2=80=99t tell me I should be like you though. Hm.. I should update that to over 25 years. Sigh. > sendmail is not that bad I disagree. I *hated* sendmail, and most especially trying to parse the = documentation and configurations. Maybe the docs have gotten better, but = the configuration itself is still opaque to the point of making perl = look human-readable and kid-friendly. /etc/mail/freebsd.cf > R<$+> <$*> <$- $-> <$*> $: <$(access $4:$1 $: ? $)> <$1> <$2> = <$3 $4> <$5> > R<?> <$+> <$*> <+ $-> <$*> $: <$(access $1 $: ? $)> <$1> <$2> <+ = $3> <$4> > R<?> <$+ + $* @> <$*> <$- $-> <$*> > $: <$(access $5:$1+*@ $: ? $)> <$1+$2@> <$3> = <$4 $5> <$6> Yep, that=E2=80=99s about what I remember.
