Plus, whether you use an old OSX with the included sendmail, or replace that with Postfix, or get Panther and its included Postfix, you will have an open source MTA with active development going on. With SIMS we have a good MTA, but one with a handful of annoying bugs and some clear areas where improvements could be made but seem unlikely to ever actually be made. That's a sad situation, but it makes sense for Stalker from a business perspective. Unfortunately, the coming year or so is likely to see some serious advances in anti-spam methodology that are likely to be impossible to tack onto SIMS from the outside, and unless Stalker changes their minds, SIMS will be left behind.
I agree with Bill. :-)
Course, HE knows what he's doing...... ;-)
The only problem is that Postfix is damn hard to get working with SMTP AUTH. It's the reason I chose to move _from_ it to SIMS anyway.
Now it doesn't help that SIMS horked on 4000+ incoming SPAM because I forgot to tell it to drop bad messages immediately... That's the reason I'm currently on my old Postfix server.
I'll probably switch it back to SIMS this weekend now that I've made some changes.
If you're going to move from SIMS I would recommend Postfix for SMTP but compiled from scratch for SMTP AUTH, Qpopper for POP access, and Squirrelmail for webmail.
With the exception of the Postfix compile all the rest of the applications "just work".
