SendMail, [Postfix] and [Exim] are [MTA]s. Another one that is very popular with [ISP]s is DanBernstein's [Qmail], written with security in mind, for which there has been no exploit since at least March 1997. |

It is generally a bad idea to mess with a live [MTA]. To make extensive changes or even migrate, you should deploy the new configuration in a test environment first. Only once you fully trust your new setup should you even dream about replacing the existing one. |
