>Do you have some expirience with sendmail Sendmail has the best integration with cyrus imapd, via socket maps. Sendmail also has a commercial organization which relies on the open source codebase, so you have more than one paid developer working with the code. The linux kernel has security holes on a more frequent basis than sendmail. But I stay up to date with fixes, and my systems have never been compromised via sendmail or the linux kernel. With postfix the learning curve is not as steep as sendmail, and the postfix community is densely populated with unskilled users. There's more experience and skill in the sendmail community, though newcomers may find it hard to extract.
