> 1. sendmail 8.8.4
Medium PErformance
-Full of Bugs, complicated sendmail.cf.
+Good for rewriting Headers, well known. Could be run as non-priveleged user
> 2. zmailer 2.9.44.1
Mem consuming
-Complicated to configure
+Lot of features, IMHO unstable. Not sure about security.
> 3. qmail 0.95
Network consuming
-no bang path support, uncommon
+fast, secure, easy to set up, usefull features
> 4. exim
Hmm..dont have much infos about that
-no bang path support
+fast and usefull features
5. smail
Medium Performance
-complicated in high traffic situations
+easy to set up. Not much bugs are known. Can run as unpriveleged relay.
6. smap/smapd
Mail Proxy only.
-Needs another MTA behind itself. Does not much Header sanity
+small program (which doesnt do much :)
7. smtpd/forwd
Mail Proxy only
-Needs another MTA.
+small program which does fairly good header data checks.
Personally I would eighter use smail or qmail, depending on the tasks which
are needed to be carried out.
Greetings
Bernd
