The newest versions aren't that hard to configure. Bugs certainly aren't as bad as in the past. I moved from sendmail to smail back in about 1990 or so - as it was a pain - but moved back in about 1996. Haven't really used any others except falling over a stupid things called MMDF in SCO once - and vowed never to touch that one again. I'll try to look at the others you mentioned - if for nothing more than self-education.
