Start accusation without even read what I said is even worst. As I said, I'm just a normal user, not an expert on any MTA at all. Before troubleshooting my yesterday's problem, I don't even know what msp is, when people talking about it, let alone knowing its relation/difference between mta. What I meant is, from an end user point of view, that it is more likely for me to *find* answers to my problems in sendmail than any other MTAs, because it is widely used and thoroughly discussed. >> My suggestion, speaking from my heart breaking experiences, is that if >> you are a normal user, not a mail expert or system admin who need to >> play with mail configuration as you full time job, stick with sendmail, >> and keep away with postfix, exim, etc. > > I don't understand your logic.

But an ordinary user who don't know much about how > mail works? yes, go figure out the steps setting up Postfix/SASL/TLS yourself by reading the man pages, or coach some John users to do so if you are a postfix expert. Again, from an end user point of view, the MTA that gives me the least headache will be the one that I choose. Unfortunately, I had to go through those headaches myself to know what to choose. This is the whole purpose why I speak up. That's the end of discussion. I'm only giving facts *based on my own experience*. I'm not biased to any MTA and am willing to learn/try new things. I have no interest to wage any religious wars, or fuel such one. bye -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
