Hi,
I know this question is subjective to personal preferences.... Is there an
advantage to exim over sendmail or vice versa for ease of setup/maintenance
etc ? I would be interested in comments from those who have used both.
Is there something better than either of them ?
I have very little experience with either of them, and have found nothing in
the archives on the subject. I need something extremely simple to simply
send and receive mail, but not to be an open relay.
I have been to both exim and sendmail websites and both 'seem' to do pretty
much the same job and can get as complex as you want.
Ian
