Thanks for your opinions in advance. > Postfix is pretty popular and I'm a fan because it has a configuration syntax that is human readable. There is of course the time tested, tried and true sendmail but the learning curve on configuration and setup is likely enough to drive you mad. My personal preference is postfix so my remarks on sendmail as slightly biased but I would recommend to take a look at both. Each are fully capable and RHEL6 actually switched from sendmail to postfix for its default MTA ... just something to consider. Good luck in your trials and migration, -AdamM -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
