JM2CW, 'coz there ain't no 'one size fits all'.

But 'Prayer' gives us a higher performance to lower hassle ratio than anything
else we have used to date.

- As with Exim, compiled C, not [favorite flavor] interpreted.

- Http(s) daemon built-in,

- comfortable with external cache/fail-over front AND back ends, including
Perdition and such like.

Developed by David Carter at Cambridge, and definitely works well with Exim.

;-)

Also used by several other US, UK, Canadian Universities.
