Because of sendmail security reasons, I switched to qmail (compiled from
sources) and never regretted it. With the help of D. Sill book or Life
With Qmail (www.lwq.org) it's very easy to install it and one can have
some understanding how it works.

Btw, qmail is very stable & secure ie. you don't need to update it
frequently - actually there are no new updates :-)

The omly glitch is that Yast complains that neither Sendmail nor Postfix
are installed, but it's nothing serious.

Sincerely,
Gour
