Right. I think most postfix users are not rabid exim haters either (at
least I'm not). It seems both postfix and exim are good choices without
any of the big warts that make people hate sendmail.

IMHO it'd be a shame to drop postfix - it has spent quite a long time as
a sendmail alternative in powertools then RHL and FC waiting for RH
management to realise sendmail should die. I think the only reason the
postfix crowd is silent right now people can't even imagine RH relenting
on sendmail, while exim users still have some hope left.
