Postfix vs Sendmail

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I have two CentOS-6.4 servers, in different places.
I am running postfix/amavis on one, and sendmail/procmail on the other.
I don't recall having any difficulty setting up sendmail many years ago
using sendmail.mc .
But I found postfix very complicated to setup last year.
(It's working fine now.)

I recall that when I asked for advice
one person advised me to read 2 books on postfix,
and another advised me to pay someone to set it up.

I asked why postfix was preferable, but didn't any convincing reply.
The general response was along the lines that it was the "modern" way.

Having looked into postfix/amavis a little further,
it seems to me to involve excessively complicated processes
(at least for a simple home server)
with email going along spaghetti-like routes.

Am I alone in this view?
