I'm running postfix myself. It handles several of my emailaccounts. Sometimes mail sent using my @gmail accounts from my own SMTPd was bounced because the SPF-records didn't match. I had to set up postfix to use Gmail's SMTP as a relay for outgoing mail for my Gmail-accounts. This was a bit tricky because Gmail's SMTPd only accepts encrypted authenticated connections. Outgoing mail from my other accounts are delivered using the ISP's relay. So I'd recommend postfix, because it does what I need and I have no experience with other SMTPd's. ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
