Your argumentation was flawless.

But i have to bow my head in shame because i have a confession to make: After all this good advice about using a proven product, ... i uh still went ahead and wrote my own MTA. (Ok, what do you expect of some guy who wrote his own webserver just because he didn't like to configure Apache?)

So far, i works quite nicely and it turns out we have more like 3000-5000 Mails per Day, except that the old mailserver i replaced just "lost" most of them.

While i'm rather pleased with the result (so far, anyway), i still feel a little guilty about asking the question and then ignore all the advice i got.

I'd like to hereby thank you for the advice, because i did take a look at various MTA's and saw what features i liked or didn't like. You could say i was inspired by the effort.
