To people who have familiarity with both postfix and exim4, is postfix reallyeasier (in a variety of senses) than exim4? LIke to install, setup, and use?I tried to set up postix back near the beginning of my Linux odyssey, maybe sometime between 2000 and 2004 and eventually gave up and just went with an MUA (kmail).
I can't say Postfix is 'better' or 'easier' than any other mail server (sendmail excepted), but I can say that I rely on it to do what is expected and I'm now confident enough to run it in high risk applications.
For me, there are only a few packages that get into that grade - bind9 and Kamailio/OpenSIPS are two. Perhaps openSSH as well?
With all packages it pays to read the official documentation many times and also work out what are reliable non-official sources. There is an awful lot of crud out there, either bad to start with, or out of date.
