Sorry but there is a misunderstanding. I wasn't asking any questions about Postfix. Or other MTA. Actually I was worried my question was too far off topic for this mailing list since I was asking about the email environment that exists as a practical matter today. If I am going to set up an MTA then I am definitely going to use Postfix for it. The question isn't one of trying to find an easier or simpler MTA to set up. Postfix is all of very powerful and yet very simple and easy all at the same time. It's definitely my choice to use if I am going to set up either an outgoing or incoming MTA. The problem is *other* sites. I am starting to get a trickle of complaints from people who are not receiving password reset emails. And the problem seems to be other sites that are requiring that senders have MX records, and the rest of the associated incoming mail server set up for it. Which I am well equipment to deal with but would rather not since not is simpler. Bob
