I'm not sure about any Linux distros other than Debian. I've seen a couple ISPs and such before that use sendmail - but that was simply a mandate from the higher ups that didn't know anything about mail servers. Evidently Sendmail was the only software name they recognized, so they decided it needed to be the only one used in their company - none of the techs liked it. Personally, I think sticking with qmail is a pretty good choice. HTH, Jacob
