I tried using OpenSMTPD a long time ago, shortly after it came out, but things were not stable enough. I guess it is time to give it another go...
- binkHN 5mo agoI really like OpenSMTPD; no nonsense and configuration feels rather modern compared to the legacy stuff that's out there.
- daneel_w 5mo agoI'm happy with it. Been running OpenSMTPd for many years at this point, on both OpenBSD and Linux, and I have no complaints.
- SoftTalker 5mo agoI've also started using OpenSMTPD on linux machines when I need a simple MTA (which is to say, in almost all cases).
- somat 5mo agoSurprised exim was dropped from ports. It is not like it was ever in base. I guess the maintainer did not want to anymore.
- JdeBP 5mo agoWe don't have to guess. There are several mailing list discussions: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=177625153728067 https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=177625153728067
- paulnpace 5mo agoOpenSMTPD was substantially rewritten in 6.4 (2018). It is the best SMTP server for the majority of use cases. Unfortunately, the portable version has been weakly supported, so it's usually only OpenBSD users than learn how great it is.
