I'm going to be migrating sendmail from an antique unsupported linux
VPS to a shiny new one. Any linux distros I should look for or avoid?
Since I am a lazy programmer I would like one where I can install
the standard packages ahd have a reasonably up to date sendmail I
can tweak. It's in a private cloud and I don't think they have
strong opnions about which ones they support.

If it matters, it's sending a fairly high volume of notifications,
about a million and a half a day, outgoing only. (No, it's not spam,
it's all "log in and look at this thing you asked us to tell you
about.")

Slackware 15.0 moved to use procmail by default, *but*
on the DVD you can still install and activate sendmail
from the extra directory. Ver 15 uses sendmail 8.17.1.

Slackware 14.2, still supported, uses snedmail by default.

Slackware usually sticks to vanilla settings in packages.

Should not matter, but it has been a while since I looked
at other distros. AFAIK most distros moved away from
sendmail.

FWIW, you can get iso images from:

Do you mean procmail or postfix? Procmail is a delivery agent
used with either postfix or sendmail.

OK, tnx.

Any of the standard distributions should work, sendmail will not be by
default installed, but an apt/yum install sendmail would remediate the
issue.

I tend to follow what the company mainly uses, this keeps things simpler
for the others as they will be more used to the distro and understands
how to work with it.

8.17.1.9 is in 12, snapshot versions are usually not being
published in Debian repositories and 8.17.2 isn't out yet.
