Reminds me a pool I once sent to people in the office. The question was "Whats your favourite MTA?" and the choices were A) Sendmail, B) Exim, C) Postfix, D)Qmail, E) Exchange and F) Other........

and there was this guy who choose Other and wrote on the dotted lines "Jericho"

Hi Joram,

Could you give more information on what this MTA will be doing i.e
serving an enterprise or ISP, what load is expected any virus/spam
filetering required etc. What do you need for integration with POP/IMAP
and Webmail (if needed at all) etc.

You may want to consider Exim or Postfix against Qmail. Largely because
Qmail is no longer being developed but being patched. It however remains
stable and functional but will lack in features and ease of integration
compare to the others mentioned.

Regards,

Michuki
