   * postfix
      * Resonably easy to configure for most anything you can think of.  Support from most 3rd party packages (notably mailman).  Fast.  -- Main.BillMcGonigle - 20 Feb 2006
   * qmail
   * exim

Reasons against:

   * postfix

      * Bizzare patch-acceptance policy and license.  Good installs typically require lots of   3rd party patches of variable quality.  -- Main.BillMcGonigle - 20 Feb 2006
   * exim
      * Not a lot of 3rd party support; needs wrappers for some common tasks.  -- Main.BillMcGonigle - 20 Feb 2006

Reasons for:

   * !AMaVIS

Reasons against:

      * Somewhat CPU intensive.  I've never seen decent hardware CPU bound by it though.  -- Main.BillMcGonigle - 20 Feb 2006
   * !AMaVIS
