MTA preferences for use with MailScanner

[Dan Harris]

MaiScanner and Exim4 are a doddle to set up on Debian (both from the Testing
branch), provided you read the supplied README.Debian files for each
package! Fine tuning the MailScanner settings and making Exim relay domains
on to another server is what took me most time. I have no experience of
Postfix so I can't comment on that, but having been used to Qmail I find
Exim to be far more flexible, but by virtue of that is a little trickier to
configure. Overall worth the effort though.

(I hope this is sufficiently on-topic; flame me privately, please, if you
think it's not.)

I've got three shiny new IBM xSeries 335 servers with lots of room and
speed, which I'll be deploying as MailScanner filters as soon as I get them
loaded up. I now have to decide which MTA to run on these boxes.

I've been running sendmail as my MTA on all the MailScanner boxes so far,
but thought it might be good to have something a little less cryptic for my
co-workers to deal with, in case I get hit by a truck.

Would listmembers care to express their opinions of exim and postfix, their
ease of use and of configuration, with MailScanner? I'll be glad to have
them.
