[olug] mail prog

[Daniel Pfile]

yes 'linux' comes with other mtas, like i said, debian uses exim, most
redhat based stuff uses sendmail. there's other mtas you can install, such
as qmail and postfix. as a general rule of thumb, most default linux
installs aren't very suited for servers anyway. So installing your own mta
shouldn't be to much of a shock. The default usually works for smaller
setups tho.
