Hm. I should maybe switch my MTA to Exim.
OTOH, I am not aware of slop in postfix either. But am not aware of an explicit stance on LLMs either.
@algernon
Yorhel (🕯️) ran Exim and was happy with it. IIRC when asked him why, he said it had a very intuitive iptables-like config format. Compared to postfix's sea of mysterious variables and hidden processing pipelines, this sounded very good, but I never got around yo trying it.
@wolf480pl fun tidbit: one of my first jobs was being a sysadmin for a hungarian isp. We ran Exim, it was nice.
I don't particularly care about how it is configured1, and am happy with my current postfix setup - it's been serving me well for almost a decade now. I am mostly looking at switching from an ethical/anti-slop PoV: exim has an anti-llm policy, postfix does not. I have seen too many respectable hackers descend into LLMs in retirement, so... I'd switch out of precaution. Everything else is secondary.
at one point in my life, I ran sendmail for a university. Whatever I run only needs to top that, and that is an extremely low bar. ↩︎
