Yeah, it was a bunch of work to get all the information together. The webpage is ugly (in design and information) but the documentation in the source is much better. > > On a more serious note.

The default mandrake one. But I use it for four years, even in my dark redhat time. I also tried out qmail, but I could not get it doing what I want. And before postfix I used sendmail and got it running very good. It has some relay goot features (like adding header data and similar stuff). But it is way to hard to setup. We used qmail for a high volume mailserver and it is working very good but I personaly don't like the manner of DJB.
