(when I last used it it
asked you a couple of questions such as your domain name then left you to
set it up manually). I had
a go at it once but gave up - the config file is far from easy... I actually
found the old sendmail .mc files
more readable. One thing I didn't like is that everything was in a single
file, so if you (like I do)
relay for several domains you had to type them in multiple times into the
file & it was messy and error prone.
I ended up using postfix because at the time it was the only mailer that
could filter mail as it was relaying... I believe
sendmail has this now, though.
