At the moment, ttbomk, there's no question: postfix doesn't (apparently) have a easy-to-configure postinst. And since the benefits of postfix are mostly arcane (higher performance, which *generally* doesn't matter; and while a better security architecture is a Good Thing, exim is still a very well written piece of software --- afaict it's had exactly one security related fix in it's history as a Debian package), there doesn't seem much reason to rush. > I am arguing pro postfix because i tried a lot MTAs and did NOT switch > from sendmail (which is partially horrible) because all the MTAs had > some very anoying side effects, no support for uucp and were > configured worse than sendmail. Just one other note. I'm using exim with UUCP (over TCP) quite happily here. It's a *brilliant* system for coping with a bunch of *@foo.corp.com and *@bar.corp.com addresses than having a zillion and one POP accounts. I copied the UUCP example basically straight from the docs, too. > Enough discussion - try it ... Here's to hoping the debadmin people get enough free time to try it out on *.debian.org.
