I run exim on my servers and postfix on my laptops. I find exim fairly easy to configure, and you can do a lot of stuff (for example: I have fairly fancy customized greylisting; I run two backup servers using the same config file with conditions on the presence of a flag file; I have several domain-specific deliverability criteria; I run mailing lists; and so on). I'm sure it can all be done with postfix too, but I have too much investment in exim to think about it :) The exim mailing list also generally provides fast and useful help in the (very rare) instances when the documentation isn't enough. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
