I should perhaps also throw in my 2 eurocents
OSX includes a disfunctional installation of sendmail by default (I'm not sure whether Apple even knows it's there.. it's certainly not supported)
I've tried to get it working for a while, and I'm still struggling to suppress the memories of that experience ;) I also once tried to install either postfix or qmail (I'm not sure which one.. I think it was qmail) and I didn't succeed there either.
Recently I installed OSX 10.2 and I decided to give it one more try. First I fiddled a bit again with sendmail, but I soon heard about Exim and decided to try it instead.
Although initially I ran into some compile issues (due to differences between OSX 10.1 and 10.2 most likely), I was able to fix them easily. After installing it, I tried to send an email before even *looking* at the configuration file, just for fun...
and it worked
After that I did ofcourse have to twiddle some settings to make it work exactly the way I wanted it to, but I've found configuring Exim to be a fairly painless experience.
Altogether, Exim was a pleasant surprise. Keep up the good work! :)
