For what it's worth...qmail, sendmail, postfix, etc are all way too
much of a pain to setup and operate - YES, I've set them all up and have
run them all in some form or fashion. Bias aside..I've been using
hula...simple and it just works. If you want something that does it
all...gmail and there is no setup on your part unless you want to fetch
it and post it local which is cool.
BTW...for the person who mentioned being scared of sending credentials
in plain text. You must be a recent email user and you would be
surprised what else you send in the clear that you don't know about. So
don't bother with that "excuse".
