CiviMail and Other MTA's
January 05, 2009, 08:47:51 am
Can you (or will you be able to) use CiviMail with other MTA's?  While Postfix is pretty widely spread, I've heard that EXIM is the standard on many hosting packages today due to cPanel.  Will some of the changes in 2.2 allow other MTA's?  Or are we limited to Postfix only?  Thanks in advance for your help.

In 2.2  we dont require postfix. We can use any smtp server to send mail out and you can use the CiviMail return processor to process incoming messages from an imap/pop account. You dont need postfix in prior versions also if you are using imap2soap.pl (or the 2.1 version of the return processor). Check:
