Hi again,
I am concerned about the security of Sendmail, in comparison to Postfix or Qmail, but don't have much insight on the issues involved. Likewise, as I am a newbie to Linux, I am hoping to reduce the learning curve in my attempts to get Mutt to work the way I want it to. Would I be better off with Postfix or Qmail? What are the pros and cons? Where do Fetchmail and Procmail fit into the scheme of things?
Postfix. That I truly think you want. I have tried Sendmail, but I have better to do than tweak a mail transfer agent all the time. I tried Qmail as it was advertised secure. Yes, it must be secure as I never had it up and running. I maintain few servers for as many companies and they all use Postfix - no problems for two yeas now. Maybe luck, perhaps not. Cheers, --jq
