I was just curious about what LQ uses for it's MTA to send email (SMTP) to the world. I find it fascinating to see what sites use Postfix over Sendmail and Exim over Qmail etc etc etc...
TMI? Maybe an administrator wouldn't want to give everybody the names of what programs he uses. It might make it easier for hacker to break into a system if he knew a lot about what they were running?

We use a couple different MTA's here at LQ. To find out the one we use for our outgoing SMTP, you can check the mail headers in the email this reply should generate.
