I've read various documents on mail servers and Netapps and other NFS servers etc, . but thought I would ask the question.
What MTA (sendmail, postfix, qmail, exim, etc.) have admins chosen to run and their reasoning if they would be open to sharing their feelings.
The MTA is mostly irrelevant -- you wouldn't put your queues on a netapp would you? It's all about your LDA and POP/IMAP servers. You'll must run Maildir, or you'll be in for trouble. You'll want to run Maildir++. Using a hacked courier server, our pop servers can login and return a UIDL for a box with 50k messages in it in under a second. We also hacked procmail to do Maildir++.
