Administrator Emeritus

I am an older administrator who still uses Sendmail. I have about 20 years experience with it and I can solve any Sendmail problem I encounter. It was a nasty learning curve and I really don't want to do that again. Sendmail has had more than its share of problems over the years but now it seems pretty stable. It would be possible to switch to postfix but I don't see any reason to do that. Exchange is not even a possible option as far as I know... it doesn't run on Unix. Postfix is the only alternative I know... are there other MTA's available for Unix?

I have to say we Sendmail users probably should not chide Exchange on its security problems though.... people who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones. Smilie
