I don't like the setup for qmail. djb wants to make it a pain to use it,
so I don't use it :). He also refuses ( last I looked ) to patch qmail to
keep it from being used as an anonymous mail redirector. debian's packages
have the fix. I presume the other thing you mentioned does as well.

Sorry, I haven't paid attention for a while. I'm not an exim expert, but
I've been using it off and on for a few years.

I've been recommending postfix for a while. I also run it. I do have a
pretty static setup, so I tend to get my MTA working and not worry about
it again until there's a major version upgrade.

debian's installs for exim and postfix will handle most basic setups ( I
had one handle my MXen and relays for me last week ). If I need/want more
than that I find that postfix is usually documented fairly well via
examples. Then again, I don't do anything too weird.

ciao,
