Re: Ubuntu 20.04 and MailScanner+sendmail installation instructions?

Hi Thom!

No particular reason. sendmail popped up as option 1) and recommended when 
running MailScanner install and it was running on my previous boxes.
Could go for postfix as well :)

My only need is for the box to forward cleaned/scanned messages on to the 
Microsoft Exchange server (I use mailertable for that)

Thanks!
