Sendmail easy to configure? Hehe.. you must be some kind of guru or something. Sendmail is utterly confusing for most, I know sysadmins that have used it for years that still can't grasp all of it..

Postfix is my choice, we just replaced qmail at work with it.. qmail just couldn't quite handle our mail at times under heavy loads and in my personal opinion, I'd rather use sendmail over qmail any day of the week.

I like Xmail.

I use SME Server 6.0 which uses sendmail, Squirrel mail and what else I don't know, haven't bothered to go that far into yet.
