Like Harald, I run most of my servers on FreeBSD. The only time I run Linux is when I have to run something that runs better off Linux than FreeBSD. It's a long time since I found myself in such a situation with the Zimbra monster :-)

Personally, I am running all mail servers with exim4u on FreeBSD.

Maybe you should just give it a shot and install it as trying exim4u gives you more information and ���feeling��� than all discussion��� installing is not that much work.

Odhiambo,

You brought up an interesting thought/question.

��

I have been a CentOS fan for many years, essentially since I moved off of SCO Linux and Solaris(for SPARC).�� But now with the implementation of system and its pervasity, I have been looking at/condsidering other OS���es.�� BSD and Gentoo are the primary two.

��

For systemd, most if not all of the mainstream linuxi are already on systemd.�� Here are a couple of links for some systemd background:

��

Probably best to not bring up opinions on system.�� It has and can cause irate comments.

��

What OS are most people running for vexim and exim4u?

Hello,

First message here.�� I am looking to get off of qmailtoaster (been running it for many, many years) since even it is not well maintained any more.

��

I am looking at either postfix or exim, and an easy tool to manage them (limited free time=hobby business).�� I ran across exim4u and it looks like it might fit the bill.�� Other platforms I am looking at are ISPConfig and BlueOnyx (yes, I know, sendmail), Xeams, Virtualmin.�� I know all of those are not email only, but I hope I can just ignore the other portions of those application stacks.�� I do like that exim4U is first for email, exactly what I want/need.�� I do have a couple questions:

��

1.������������ Is it maintained and being further developed?�� I am not concerned if it is slow development, but what exists should be relatively solid.

2.������������ Will it run on CentOS7 or other systemd platforms?�� Seems they are all pretty much going that way unfortunately.

��

I don't know what systemd is, but I will google. I use FreeBSD mostly. Exim runs on Ubuntu. However, Exim4U requires just php+apache+mysql IIRC. If those are installable on a systemd OS, then it will run. Exim as an MTA should run on all *nix OS IIRC. So I guess you have no problem ahead with Exim4U.��
