Well... Okay, I find exim the best MTA myself, but postfix is pretty
competant. For simpler setups, it's probably better (I understand it
needs less configuration for a generic internet mailing site. Of course,
Exim needs very little for that and the documentation is better, but
less is less).

Oh, definitely agreed. It's really one of the most impressive bits of
server-software I know, if not the most.
