We have a mixed setup currently, and the Exim boxes indeed do perform a
lot better then the sendmail ones, with about the same processing load
(number of messages).

Sendmail doesnt do bad, but Exim just does a little better. I was also
used to run zmail, since i previously worked for Sonera, they made
zmailer, so we run it on our production boxes a long time. But zmailer is
indeed not really simple to maintain...

Bye,
Raymond.
