Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to exim vs qmail for MTA

Collapse
Posted by Mike Sisk on

Here are several benchmarks comparing MTAs:

  • http://www-dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/~ma/postfix/
  • http://www-dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/ ~ma/postfix/bench2.html
  • According to these, Sendmail is faster than qmail, exim faster still, but Postfix is faster than any of them.

    It should be noted the authors of the above benchmarks partake of Postfix-flavored Kool-Aid---YMMV.
