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.

Thanks

Bill
