I have only ever heard bad thinks about sendmail, never exim, qmail or postfix which is my personal favourate as its both simple stable and I belive very secure.

Martyn,

we use Exim for our virtual hosting, it's very easy to configure (comared to sendmail) and setup, it is solid, plays nicely with mailman and other proggies. I also know that several large comercial sites use exim.. Exim gets my thumbs up although some of our consultants swear by qmail, I've never used qmail so I have no idea, but you might want to look at it and see what you think.....

Hi folks,

I'm contemplating using Exim as a replacement for Deadmail, and was wondering if there are any pros and cons associated with migrating everything on the existing server (including these lists) to Exim?

I've had a bit of a play with it this afternoon and it's straightforward for me, but I don't want to suddenly find that I've run across a compatibility issue that may be lurking somewhere.

Regards,

Martyn
