People might want to consider alternatives to Sendmail, which many people feel is outdated and difficult.


Postfix is a popular alternative.


See "Installing Postfix and UW IMAP on MacOS X Server" (http://www.afp548.com/Articles/mail/postfix-solo.html) for more information.

    I was actually a big postfix fan for a while and have used it successfully under OS X for a while. But I've gone back to sendmail because it does what it does really well and has improved quite a bit over the years.

    All mail servers have their issues. As far as my motivation for going with Sendmail for this article: well, its all about using what is built in to Mac OS X where possible.
