We're pretty committed to Postfix but I never considered Exim. Any comments? Can anyone tell me how this compares to Postfix? I looked at the Exim docs. It's hard to appreciate the comparative complexity without actually installing and configuring.
My ISP (whom I do phone line technical support) has used Exim for over 3 years now. We do well over 10GB of e-mail per day. The mailserver handles mail delivery as well as spam filtering, virus scanning a user filters! I do not know the hardware configuration but I suspect it is close to a 1GHz or so with at least 512MB of RAM.
Based on my employer using Exim, I installed it at home in RHL 6.x via RPM with no issues, but by 7.x, I started to "roll my own" via the source.
