    Slackware uses sendmail as the default mta too. The first thing I was told
    to do was to rip it out immediately and replace it with Exim, which is very
    easy to compile and configure, including integration of AV/SPAM scanning
    etc which may be useful for any 'doze users.

    If you're looking for a nice simple POP3 server try QPopper, also very easy
    to use.
