I've run sendmail for many years, until last week with a version from 2003 on SuSE 8.2 (yes I know, outdated to hell) but it did what I've expected.
My upgrade to Debian4 was more than necessary, but I "apt-get --purge remove exim4" and "apt-get install sendmail".
This was the moment the trouble begun.
Together with dovecot-imapd it was about 100 times quicker, my clients were very happy how much I've improved their email.
But I read the mail.log carefully and I see some trouble since my HELO is something local and it have to be more a real FQDN. My BIND9 has not changed much. Basically the same like before, and of course I've read A LOT sendmail stuff and I know of the "Modifier=bf" option, and "confDOMAIN_NAME" thing. And if I manually edit the sendmail.cf and hardcode my preferred Domain in, I will get what I want. Just the *.mc knowledge seems to be not enough for me, and also the webmin-sendmail plugin don't work properly.
So to make a long story short, I've decided to change my mail system. But what to choose? Exim, delivered with Debian4? Postfix, supported by Webmin?
I really don't know.
There are three piles of dirt, what to choose?
And qmail is no option, since it is not OpenSource. And also all the other "low used" mailer out there: no option, I want a MainStream choice, so I can let my server run another 4 years and come back to get the same trouble as now. ;-) (Then with ipV6 I guess).
