Qmail is also available, although it's not a good long term choice; it's very idiosyncratic and rarely used. Bigger question: are you doing just SMTP or mailboxes too (POP/IMAP)? Postfix/sendmail/exim/qmail ONLY do the SMTP part. You'll need some other tools to do POP/IMAP. That said, see my earlier note: if you don't need to modify headers or rewrite addresses, postfix is your better choice. If you need to do fancy stuff, use exim. It's a lot easier to configure and maintain than sendmail (if nothing else, the configuration files are plain text, not M4 programs). Exim also scales a lot better. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
