OT: Preferred MTA?

[Denis Beauchemin]

Hello all,

I have been asked to evaluate what would be needed to turn our internal 
mail hubs into secured ones.  Since I always had trouble with sendmail's 
documentation, I was thinking about switching to another MTA.

We currently use many sendmail features such as greet_pause, 
conncontrol, ratecontrol and milter-greylist.  We have multiple domains 
and use LDAP for final delivery address resolution. And of course, MS 
must blend just fine with the MTA.

What other MTA would give me those features with less headaches whenever 
I need to change things?  Exim? Postfix? others?

I couldn't find a greylisting for Exim that shares its state table 
between multiple MX... but I think PF could use my existing 
milter-greylist as is...

As for ease of configuration and quality of documentation, which do you 
recommend?

Do you recommend using a HW load balancer (and SSL accelerator) in front 
of my servers?  How about Cisco's?

Thanks!

Denis
