What is the easiest email server?
by lucmove from LinuxQuestions.org on (#57K4W)
I am going to need an email server. In your educated opinion, what is the easiest one to install and maintain?
I am not interested in flame wars or discussing which one is best based on any other reason than ease of installation and maintenance.
I maintained a qmail installation for many years a long time ago. It ran well, but it was no fun at all. I really do not look forward to going back to it.
I have investigated Postfix a few times and I always give up on it, it seems as complicated as all hell.
Is there something easier? Anything that doesn't require an awful bunch of accompanying packages and/or libraries to do this or the other that the email server itself won't do on its own, and a sprinkled haywire of configuration files spread around all over the directory structure?
I am hoping that something new and surprisingly convenient has miraculously popped up somewhere in the last few years.
TIA
