in reply to Which MTA is best to use with Perl....

My favorite is Qmail
you can use vpopmail-0.08 to add domains , users ,change password ...
although I have not used this there is also Mail::Ezmlm
If all that you want is to send mails from perl then it does not matter which MTA

    Be careful using qmail. It is viewed as hostile by its behavior given multiple recipients (split into multiple messages and parallelize the output). It is also viewed by some as spam support because of its accept then bounce method of handling incoming mail.

    At home I have it configured to drop anything not recognized into a spam mailbox, only allow certain source addresses to send, I ignore the parallelize issue (I don't have any mail lists that it would effect), and I give myself a little reaction time by storing things in an outgoing serialmail queue for 5 minutes (giving my outbound queue time to respond to a virus infestation or the like).
