Procmail isn't a MTA (Mail Transfer Agent), it's a: molter@dumbwinter:~$ apropos procmail procmail(1) - autonomous mail processor (yes, I know, not so self-explanatory ;-) > Which is the best? Easiest to configure? You don't want us to start a flame war on -isp, he? ;-) <IMHO> I'd suggest to have a look at qmail (www.qmail.org). In my opinion and experience, it is easier to configure than sendmail (no sendmail.cf !!! ;-), and it was developed with security as top priority. </IMHO> > Should I use the standard sendmail? I'm not very familiar with > sendmail.cf. Neither am I, but, if you stick with it, everybody suggest the "Bat" Book on sendmail, which is edited by O'Reilly. You could also have a look at www.freebsd.org/ports/mail.html Ciao ciao Marco Molteni FreeBSD: from the makers of Internet (http://www.freebsd.org/)
