It's not just the MTA. It's also the configuration. I could build a Sendmail configuration that could beat the pants off an out-of-the-box postfix configuration, if the list was large enough and I had enough hardware to do the job right. I'm sure that we could find people who could do the same with Exim. IMO, using postfix will give you a good initial default configuration and it won't take as much tweaking to improve the mail delivery performance, but that's just a personal opinion. > I read in a 2004 (or earlier thread) where using MySQL db tables would also > increase the speed. I will also utilize this option. I don't know of any way that MySQL would factor into this discussion.
