> please help me decide which MTA should i install for > my mails. > > Which is better : Sendmail/ Qmail/ Postfix? As far as I have searched and googled Qmail is the best till date but I used postfix since it seemed easier to work with. On the whole the y both work pretty well although qmail has a slightly more rich feature set..It would be better if you could try both qmail and postfix beore trying much. Sendmail has been surpassed in both security and performance by Qmail and Postfix. As far as I tested postfix delivers apporox 400 mails per minute and more depending on the server hardware..
