[CentOS] Postfix vs Sendmail

2013-11-02 Thread Timothy Murphy
I have two CentOS-6.4 servers, in different places. I am running postfix/amavis on one, and sendmail/procmail on the other. I don't recall having any difficulty setting up sendmail many years ago using sendmail.mc . But I found postfix very complicated to setup last year. (It's working fine now.)

I have to say the CentOS machines I have used so far seem to work well, so I was surprised the other day when an HP DL580G5 I had running CentOS 6.4 x86_64 the other day for some VM's under KVM/QEMU went belly up. Sadly the sucker was a remote box, so I wasn't just sitting in front of the cons
