I suppose the reasons people are so anti-sendmail are several: 1. Security. Sendmail has a track record of being Unix's most insecure MTA. 2. Confusion. Sendmail's configuration is truly unweildy and unnecessarily complex. c.f. postfix for a configuration interface that doesn't suck. 3. Size. Why use a cannon swat a fly? Sendmail will do everything and then some, but this is unnecessary complexity and bloat for something as simple as a forwarding-only mail server, which is generally all people want if they already have a world-class SMTP server doing spam/virus checking and so forth. Sendmail is dead. Long live the alternatives. -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
