postfix was designed from the beginning with security in mind. And it's easier to configure than sendmail or qmail. And unlike qmail (which to be fair, was also designed with security as the main design goal) you can distribute precompiled binaries. Postfix is also supposed to be less of a system load than sendmail, but my mail server only sends out a couple of thousand messages a day, so sendmail wasn't much load either. jpb -- Joe Block <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.
