I think I'll stick with Postfix. I just bought a postfix book from Tech Books on Swanston street. Postfix looks the business and it's the "standard" sendmail alternative on RH/FC distros as well, so any learning I do is translatable from Debian to FC. Regards Craig Box wrote:
Currently my box has postfix 2.1.5 installed. But I see that I can install one of the following:
Exim 3.36 Exim 4.50 (stable) Exim 4.52 (testing) Postfix 2.2.4 (testing)
Lots of people here are very familiar with Exim. The biggest gotcha with it is Debian packages it in many little config-file-lets, which are combined at config reload into a single file. I like it that way, others not so much.
I'd run Exim 4.5 out of those choices. 3.x is deprecated and 4.5 is certainly up to date.
I know Daniel is fairly familiar with Exim but I know nothing about these alternative MTAs. Can anyone provide sage advice on which has more features, is easier to configure, has powerful plugins, db support, IMAP server integration, virtual domains, spam filtering that sort of thing.
Spam/virus filtering is done by 'exiscan', which is included with exim as of 4.5. Everything else is just there.
Are you familiar with sendmail? Is there any reason you don't want to keep using that?
