Over on Skipping Dot Net they’ve taken the decision to use qmail instead of Sendmail. I have absolutely no problem replacing Sendmail on a server with something else, but qmail? I get the shivers at even the thought of configuring it.
I’ve used Sendmail for years (see my install-sendmail script to the right) and if I was going to replace Sendmail on a server, I’d probably go for Postfix. I’ve used that MTA before and it was a doddle to configure and I’m told it’s great performance wise too.
