Nowadays, the Postfix code base is larger than the Exim code base. > Why is it worth worrying about, though?

"/usr/sbin/exim4 -bt" or even "/usr/sbin/exim4 -d+all -bt" can be a real lifesaver if need to figure out what's going on. Older versions of Postfix lacked -bt support (I just had a brief encounter with 2.0 on a customer machine *shivers*), partly due to its non-monolithic design. If this has improved (and the documentation seems to suggest that, but I couldn't test it yet), I see no pratical problems with using Postfix instead of Exim in most environments--and vice versa, of course. Personally, what made me stick to Exim so far is the ability to configure retry behavior on a per-domain basis. One of my mail servers delivers mail to some hosts which a reachable only intermittently, and I've set a lower retry value for these domains. With Postfix, I'd have to configure ETRN on the receivers instead, I guess. But this kind of setup is somewhat unusual. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
