Yes, I felt that Sendmail too was difficult to setup but then just learned it and with m4 macros, come on, it is really easy. Simple uses at home/small server, yes, SuSE has all that in Yast and this just sets the m4's anyway. The new Sendmail 8.11 really has feature for large scale.....but hey...I am using PostFIX too...just thought that there is an awful lot of Sendmail bad vibes....

And Sendmail is insecure or is that the _thought_?
Actually I run sendmail and believe it to be reasonably secure. Since the message I replied to was in regards to Qmail vs. Postfix I only addressed that issue. At this point I recommend Postfix to friends who're setting up a low volume/low maintanence mail server and lack experience with any of the three - mainly for it's ease of use. I run sendmail because I have more experience with it, it's better integrated into SuSE 7.0, and I happen to like Turing-complete configuration languages*. Of course I also thought it was fun to implement a Turing machine in T-SQL so my view of reality is known to be skewed.

* For all I know Postfix and Qmail also have Turing-complete configuration - it just doesn't look like it to a cursory inspection.
