[BBLISA] MTA

[Theo Van Dinter]

I've got to agree with the other folks.  If you're used to sendmail,
just stick with sendmail.  Writing a m4 file is a little more
complicated than the Switch GUI, but it sounds like you have a pretty
simple setup so it should be straightforward.

If you did want to go off the reservation, as it were, Postfix and
Exim are probably good choices to look at.  My experience has been
that Postfix is not the most performance oriented MTA, but it's
reliable.  I haven't personally tried Exim, but I hear good things so
I thought I'd mention it.

It doesn't have to do anything fancy, because the hard stuff, like virus scanning and spam filtering, is taken care of by the corporate infrastructure.  All I need is something that can obey a big sendmail-style aliases file, a small mailertable, a small domains file, and a smarthost directive. The processing volume is substantial, but not unheard-of:  about 100,000 messages a day.  And this is just for the hub.  All the unix/linux servers in the place run native sendmail and forward everything to the hub.
