Anyways, I'm also partial to postfix.

&gt;&gt; I have a friend doing doctoral work in interactive web development 
&gt;&gt; and human
&gt;&gt; interface design. At one point I helped him set up a Linux / Apache 
&gt;&gt; web
&gt;&gt; server for posting VRML projects created by he and his students.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; His studies have recently necessitated a move to Baltimore. For some 
&gt;&gt; odd
&gt;&gt; reason his department there couldn't provide him with an email 
&gt;&gt; account. He
&gt;&gt; made the mistake of complaining about that as being somewhat aburd. 
&gt;&gt; Now they
&gt;&gt; want him to set up a mail server for the department... for cheap or 
&gt;&gt; for free,
&gt;&gt; of course...   to live alongside their Apache web server, which is
&gt;&gt; unfortunately running on an eXcrement Pile box. The mail server, 
&gt;&gt; however, can
&gt;&gt; be a seperate Linux box if that's the way he wants to get it done.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; This person is NOT a unix savvy command line, script config kind of 
&gt;&gt; guy, so
&gt;&gt; Sendmail is probably not a solution. We've had a suggestion of qmail, 
&gt;&gt; but I
&gt;&gt; wanted to ask the list if there are other email server options we 
&gt;&gt; should look
&gt;&gt; into, keeping in mind that ease of configuration and maintenane are 
&gt;&gt; the
&gt;&gt; important factors.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Thanks for any ideas!
&gt;&gt; peace
