Your setups sound pretty similar to mine and I'll tell you that I've |
| 15 |
several times attempted to switch ... I tried exim, postfix and |
| 16 |
something else I've since forgotten. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Each time I returned to sendmail and have decided each time that |
| 19 |
sendmail actually has the best and most complete documentation. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
It can be aggravating from time to time. My biggest trouble is |
| 22 |
forgetting all I ever learned each time I need it again. |

I'd stick with sendmail if I were you. Its usually something kind of |
| 25 |
minor once you find the problem. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Sendmail is by far the most versatile of them all. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Spend some time learning the various tests one can run with sendmail |
| 30 |
and you may be able to fix things yourself more often. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'd also suggest posting whatever problem is bothering you on |
| 33 |
comp.mail.sendmail newsgroup. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
There is lots of expert help available there and a thorough search of |
| 36 |
its archives can sometimes do the job without posting. |
