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?
I am running my first email server. I started to see how sendmail was, and how secure was. After a week of readings, I gave up. It is known that it is not the most secure mail server around, and it does not make me feel very secure. Moreover it was not very trivial to set up. So I tried qmail and I have had it running. I had to follow "Life with qmail" and even if I have done everything like discribed, I had some problems with logging, and processes dying very fastly (I had some false positive running chrootkit in that period). I tried the qmail mailing list but I saw that they do not have a very good attitude with beginners like I am:-) So I decided to go with postfix, I downloaded the latest rpm from suse and I had it working in a rush. It's easier than both the others, and they claim it is even faster. Praise
