That's right. Most of the GNU/linux distributors are using sendmail but I can assure you that the mailserver most robust, efficient and secure is by far qmail. Sendmail has been out there for a long time and too many security bugs have been found. They have been fixed though. Qmail has been developed after seen all the bugs and design problems sendmail had to fix, and what really makes the difference is that qmail has been developed with security in mind. His developer even offered a reward to anyone who could find a security bug which still have not been claimed. It has been developed in a modular way that makes it extreamly easy to add functionality to it and much more. Inter 7 did not develop qmail, they only offer tools to manage it and sometimes add some functionality to it like vpopmail, etc. Qmail is a master piece, I can assure you that. I don't know why most of the distributors do not include qmail but nobody can deny that qmail has became the most powerfull and secure mailserver ever and has been growing very very fast.

OK. He wants to know if there is a tendency on the market for some other mailserver. He asks me what mailservers the biggest linux/Unix distributors are using on their products. For example, what's the mailserver shipped with RedHat, Solaris, Mandrake, Debian, etc? I really don't know. I believe all of them are shipped only with Sendmail, but I'm not sure on this actually. Do you know that? Thank you very much, Bruno.
