 Hi,

 I have a Debian server, and was about to install an MTA, when I was stricken
 by indecision as to which MTA actually to install. I realized that it would
 probably be best to use Postfix to send/receive mail to/from the Internet
 (because of its security) and Exim on my internal network (because of its
 flexibility).

I'd suggest you stay with a single package - much easier to maintain
when you dig into the stuff deeper than you initially wanted to, just
choose the one you are most comfortable with. For me it's postfix if
overriding parameters in master.cf isn't flexible enough for you have
a look at http://advosys.ca/papers/postfix-instance.html it shows how
to create multiple instances of postfix with totally independent
configurations.

 of installing multiple MTAs on one computer, so that they could pass mail
 between them, and so that which one handles a particular message is
 determined by whence the message came?

Are you suggesting that there are security concerns with Exim?

Thanks. I've decided, in that case, that I shall install Postfix.
