Why do these MTA's require so much hand tweaking, leaving lots of
opportunity to make a small (or big), hard to find, configuration
problem?
You want configurability, power, and uniqueness, you will then need a
complicated system.
What does uniqueness have to do with an MTA?
In my world, being able to do unique things for customers for their
email is something my customers absolutely love.
Whether it is filtering, redirection, rewriting, autoresponding,
lists, doesn't matter, I can do it all, and my MTA of choice gives me
that power.
BTW, power and configurability does not imply complexity. In fact,
some of the most powerful software is very simple to configure.
Again, stick with Exchange then.
No smiley this time.
In physics and math, excess complexity is a sign of bad design/theory.
Same is true in CS. Simplicity and power go hand in hand.
Fine, then don't use email.
Being self-righteous isn't a way to gain friends or help.
