Not that this is really a subject for this list, I don't really agree. We did some studies on several MTAs a while back and found out (quite by accident) that Exim has some real performance issues. I personally don't really like the monolithic form of Exim and Sendmail, but Exim seems to be pretty secure just the same. However, it was impossible for *any* other MTA to get even close to the performance that Postfix offered on the same basis (OS and Hardware). Every MTA has a weakness, just because a strength is often exclusive and cannot be combined with a different strength. I have been happy with Postfix for years now. And IMHO, all ratings about what is better are just about as useless as OS-wars. Regards Chris
