Ideal Scenario For A Fresh Installation

[Steve Douglas]

Thanks.  I do agree with the donation route.  I appreciate your
recommendations.  Being out of the loop for over a year with MS has not
helped.  I started a company and have derailed in the duration.

The simplest I've found is RHEL3 or CentOS3 with Sendmail.  Of course I mean
the most simple here, not the most secure/performing/fun/whatever.  I think
it is the most standard way to begin, especially for beginners.

I've also done installs on FreeBSD.  Not too complex either. Debian?  Well,
sometimes hard because they usually keep very, very old versions of
MailScanner (and other packages) in Stable.  I hope Volatile Debian will
help on that.

I don't recomment using Redhat versions like 8 or 9 since they're not
supported by Redhat anymore.  With free alternatives to Red Hat Enterprise
like CentOS, you're better off going with that and make some donations.
