Gof or postfix. It's flast and lightweight. exim will also do the job,  
but I don't know that too well, so I can't say. qmail was last updated  
in 1998 or so and is no longer maintained, although it will certainly  
work (it used to be the most stable MTA for years). Postfix was built  
on more or less the same ideas as qmail, so even most of the toughest  
fans of qmail have now switched to postfix.

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres  
intelligibelt. Det er en elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å  
unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de  
fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
