Having used and configured both Send mail and Postfix, sendmail was and had it's issues. I found it much easier to work with on Open Relays for example, the draw back with Sendmail and Postfix may be along the lines of Windows and a Mac, there are bunches of Windows machines in the world so every little hacker writes viruses for them. There are very few Mac Viruses... I'm sure there are more people writing hacks and cracks to break into sendmail more so than Postfix, so in the scheme of things Postfix may just be a better choice. Like Mozilla over IE... Thunderbird over Outlook.... Not a flame, just a thought.... john plemons Chris Miller wrote: > John Plemons wrote: >> Real simple answer, switch to Postfix and dump sendmail.
