Hi there,

(Seemingly) Many are the tales of sysadmins fighting with sendmail. Two
notable alternatives appear to be exim and postfix. RH 8.0 even has an
applet named "Mail Transport Agent Switcher", which lets you choose
between sendmail and postfix. Both seem to support Realtime Blackhole
Lists pretty well, and seem flexible enough to run spamassassin too.

spamassassin is attractive for filtering the flattering ads in our
incoming mail. I'm planning to switch the whole family to my mail server
when I get this up running. Anyone using it with exim or postfix?

Anyone here using these MTA's instead of sendmail? Any input for a guy
getting ready to run his own mail server and wants to completely avoid
any trouble from his ISP because a spammer exploited his server?
