Giving it a try now. Somehow I must've missed this in times past. Is it
a recent project? Yes, I'm leaning more towards Debian. See my Day Three
post for more details.

Ease of management is a major concern for me. So far, few people have
suggested postfix. I don't know if that's a lack of confidence or
experience. Say, we could have three (or four) people do a MTA
presentation, one person per option. Any takers?

I do plan on using both ClamAV and SpamAssassin, unless there's better
alternatives. I know Kaspersky has a for-pay Linux scanner, but it
doesn't fit my needs at this point in time. As I understand it, Clam is
a more-or-less drop-it-in-and-it-works (just keep it updated), sort of
solution, but SpamAssassin needs training to be at maximum
effectiveness, right?
