If you want to configure the MTA yourself, Postfix is *much* easier to learn. Postfix is also smaller, reputed to be significantly faster, and is secure "by design", though as soon as someone says this, someone else will tell you "Sendmail hasn't had a hole in 2.5 years" or that qmail is more secure than Postfix, or that Sendmail is much more configurable. All I can say is that I know nothing about using MTA's and I configured Postfix very quickly. It works like a charm. Securityfocus.com and freebsd.org (among others) use it for their mailing lists. The postfix users group at postfix.org is extremely, extremely helpful should you have difficulty. Best, Corvin <p><p> -- Corvin Russell <corvinr@sympatico.ca>
