Having absolutely no knowledge of Linux and with some unix-type experience from the 1970's, I installed Centos 5.3, did a yum install exim and with virtually no configuration Exim just worked surprisingly well. It fulfilled all my basic mail server (MTA) requirements. Later I added customisation. I was immensely happy I had returned to 'proper computing' and wished I had migrated many years earlier from the misery of Micro$oft. My good experience is, I believe, very likely to be shared by many others around the world. -- Paul. England, EU. Our systems are exclusively Centos. No Micro$oft Windoze here.
