I'm currently migrating westfalen.de (a small volunteer-run ISP) from smail to exim, partially because the smail anti-relaying stuff is too immature in my eyes, partially because I hate it how smail has more ways to produce bang paths instead of RFC 822 addresses than you can shake a stick at, and partially because exim configuration is just a whole lot saner. (We have a fairly complicated mail configuration for such a small ISP: POP3, UUCP w/rmail and w/bsmtp, some people get mail with SMTP, various different versions of forwarding. Oh, and at least one domain per account.) With that migration, every Linux system I admin will be Debian with Exim. MfG Kai
