SME isn't exactly an 'other' distribution, and ClearOS wouldn't be if CentOS6 had had a timely release. They are the same code underneath, just already configured to work as installed and with a few additions. > I'm not saying there is anything wrong with ClearOS ...

If CentOS shipped a distribution that was a decent mail server as installed then I'd certainly recommend that. But it's a toolbox with lots of assembly required. The dozen or so people who know how to build their own mail server from scratch probably won't ask my advice. > I mean, I could also say ...

But those things aren't running the same kernel and packages as CentOS, so it would make less sense to mention them here. > If people really, really want to recommend something else then that is > of course fine ... it is a community list after all.

The SIG approach will probably work - eventually. When they have stuff that comes up doing some job as installed. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
