Recommend MTA.

[M. Hornung]

Hiya Dan.  Long time no see.

My experience with sendmail has been a pleasant one.  I haven't had to buy
any books, but I have sunk a lot of time into reading documentation (a
single README, and some more detailed stuff on sendmail.org).  It does
everything I want it to do.

I've heard that qmail is good; that everything by Dan Bernstein is good,
but I can't attest to that.  I'm sure there have been many a flame war 
about what is "best".
