I've become fond of postfix. It's reputed to be highly secure and is
reasonably fast. And it's much, much easier to configure (to my mind
anyway).

--ah.
--i haven't been on this list for very long.
coming from a unix background, there *are* things
that are quirky, thus, you should at least keep
up within a few versions of sendmail.
--i should read the bad things that were said about
sendmail. i mean, you can pretty much customize
it (the mc files are getting pretty easy to
put together) any way you choose. there is
also a list of security features you can
flag to make it 'secure' (i use the term loosely).
--but if you're not interested in sendmail,
what type of OS platforms are you using?
maybe i can get an idea of what other tools
we use and make a constructive suggestion.
--is it that you need another mailer and
didn't want to go with sendmail? (like
smail or whatever?)

I'm not referring to anything specific. I don't know that much about
it, I've just seen people say bad things about Sendmail on this mailing
list in the past and wondered if there is something better that is in
common use.

--howdy
--just a question: what version of sendmail are you
referring to? there are a slew of items that
has security measures (some of it is due in part of
your system security), but sendmail is getting
pretty good at telling people what they are and how
to fix it. as a rule of thumb, never go with the
default installation.
--before i go much further, i haven't touched
sendmail since 8.8.X ... i know a lot has changed.
what security problem are you referring to.
(this might be a question that is best taken
off line from the 'perl.org' mail list).

I've heard Sendmail isn't a very good mail program because of security
holes, etc. Can anyone recommend a good alternative script for sending
mail from an HTML form? Thanks!
