Then, you're in luck, since any MTA will be a learning experience. > I was looking for some feedback on what most people use for their mta > on home computers... You've just changed the subject. More people use sendmail than any other MTA, but that's unrelated to the subjects you raised previously. Choice of MTA is of course a matter of personal preference and prejudice. You did not ask "_Why_ should I be using one specific MTA rather than another?", which is just as well. ===
