I do it here ;-) I've heard of Exim, although I have not used it. I am more familiar with mail systems like Cyrus, as well as it's predecessor, the Andrew Message System, and Courier. I remember MMDF, which CMU was using way back when, and I'd even worked on a SMTP-to-X.400 gateway product back in the early 90's. For choice, I'd spend my time on this list helping people rather than debating terminology, but that's only a preference. If you want to say that Exim has "MTA-imposed quota", fine. (*) In the future, please try to mention important details instead of expecting people to guess that you weren't using FreeBSD's default MTA. -- -Chuck (*): I find the distinction between the various components of a mail system-- the "MTA", "LDA", "MUA", and related software like a "POP3" or "IMAP" server-- to be well-defined and meaningful. Exim handles per-user quotas for mailboxes. However, the part of Exim which does SMTP-- the MTA-- doesn't perform local delivery, does it?
