The first question can easily lead to pseudo religious wars :} So the general answer is: choose the one MTA you are most comfortable with and whose documentation you know best. Running a mail server (MTA and mail storage server [POP3/IMAP]) in a production environment I think you should buy a book about the system. Mail administration is one of the most complex things to do as administrator and you constantly have to have an eye on your system(s). > Also if anyone knows of a link to a fairly basic guide to either one of > these severs, I am new e-mail servers and I need some basic instruction. > I have tried googling and I tend to get stuff that's kinda above where I > am at.

Though, in the "Hardening Sendmail" section forget about the funny suggestion to hide the MTA version in the greeting message. I wouldn't call that even security by obscurity, more a joke. > TIM Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG http://pgp.mit.edu 0xB366A773 legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html Fedora Core 2 GNU/Linux on Athlon with kernel 2.6.11-1.14_FC2smp Serendipity 17:17:08 up 2 days, 16:49, load average: 0.15, 0.13, 0.06
