I would say if security is your biggest concern, qmail is likely the best 
choice as an MTA.  However, it does have significant drawbacks in terms of 
features(lack thereof) and ease-of-configuration(again, lack thereof.)  The 
author has had a bounty out for 11 years, first 500, now $1000, for the 
first person to find a security hole in qmail.  11 years later, it's still up 
for grabs.

That said, I personally run postfix.  Why?  I've administered high-traffic 
qmail servers before, and never want to do it again.  The way it plays with 
inodes leads to corrupt filesystems, and it has difficulty catching up once 
it's backed up and mail starts queueing.

Hi list,


I and need some advice on what software (related to mail) to use for a box 
that will handle about ~15 accounts.


I'd like to know how your company handle stuff related to mail, like which 
MTA, spamfilter and so on.


// Thanks in advance, RG
