Here I am again. :)
I've run into a particular project that im working on that requires the MTA to pass AUTH to the lmtpd process (Cyrus) in order to get ACL's to fully functional which I need in order to setup bulletin boards and ensure only the necessary people can access them.
The problem I ran into is that Postfix does not pass AUTH= off to LMTPD process which will result in ACL's not working the way I want (basically, anyone could see anything that I create).
Now, I know I have one option and that is Sendmail. I chatted with a few people on the list and they verified that they were in the same boat I was in and were forced to use Sendmail to get exactly what they needed. Sendmail, although huge, gory and flat out a bear to learn, as a lot of things that I find promising. It has a huge community following and there are a lot of things that are appealing to me. However, setting up sendmail, hacking the config and trying to understand the config is another story.
Now, I have not confirmed it yet, but Exim may be another option. It supposedly will pass AUTH= to lmtpd. However, I know absolutely zilch about Exim.
So I was hoping that people could post what they know about Exim and if it is something I should consider looking into, or should I stop screwing around and jump into sendmail. :)
Also, I looked at qmail, and dont like it at all. :)
