My Exchange server lost it's mind again this weekend and decided nobody had 
any licenses to connect.  I simply pithed the licensing service and it's back 
to normal, but it does argue that it's getting time to move away from that 
eight year old technology.   
 
Since I've moved away from the Outlook client, I also no longer have the 
ability to write server-side filters, which I want, and I've never had any 
spam filters on the local box.  I run procmail/sanatizer/spamassasin/sendmail 
on a remote box and it does very well. 
 
I'm pretty used to setting up and running sendmail, but I'm concerned about 
the ability to store messages efficiently - I tend to archive several thousand 
on my server, although for only a handful of accounts. 
 
I also like the idea that there's a server that allows mail accounts without 
the need to set up shell accounts.  That would be nice for multi-homed systems 
where I'd like to pass out mailboxes for members but don't want the hassle of 
shell accounts. 
 
Discussion/suggestions?  I'll be pulling mail in with fetchmail from my "real" 
servers. 
 
Here's a brief list from the Hampshire LUG: 
 
>sendmail - argh - run away! 
>exim - nice, easy config 
>postfix - powerful, modular, harder to config 
>qmail - bliss. 
>courierimap - no hassle.
