Hi,
I am running a server that is acting as the mail server for only
internal users (about 50 users). Currently we are running Sendmail,
but reading on other discussions I noticed that qmail and other
programs are suggested.
If you have no compelling reason to switch from sendmail, stick with
that.
I am wondering if qmail is thought to be better than sendmail.
My personal favorites in order are
exim
postfix
sendmail
carrier pigeons
messages in bottles
qmail
smoke signals
...
MS Exchange
...
whatever system dogs use when they smell each others' excrement.
...
Lotus Notes
You can't go wrong with the first three: exim, postfix, and sendmail.
There are reasons why I have the preferences that I do, but they don't
apply to you or your needs. So unless you are having problems with
sendmail, just stay with that.
Any suggestions on spam filters like spam-assassin?
There are many ways to integrate spam-assassin and sendmail, and they
will all be in the ports system. Look at mail/spamass-milter
Another approach (not using milters) is a spamassassin+procmail
solution. I prefer the milter as it allows you to reject mail early
in the process.
