    What is this mean : "you appear to use Sendmail, not Exim, for mail delivery"

    I am using whm/cpanel

    One of my programmer say this, what is this mean?
    And if its right, how to use exim, not Sendmail, for mail delivery?

    "you appear to use Sendmail, not Exim, for mail delivery. While Exim has a default max mail size of 50M, Sendmail has a default max size of infinity. Please have a server admin check that max_message_size is 50M or lower"

    Code:
    sendmail -bd -q20m -O MaxMessageSize=50000000
    sets the maximum message size to 50MB

    because my programmer recommend to use Exim, because Exim has a default max mail size of 50M

    but if i can set Sendmail to 50mb, i will considering it too

    which is better for mail delivery if both already have same max mail size 50mb, Exim or Sendmail?

    both exim and sendmail are MTAs. exim can be used to replace sendmail as it supports more features.

    basketmen: i'd stick with my current config if there are no compelling reasons for using exim

    ok thank you

    how to check Sendmail already changed, or is this step only need to run once, or every time after the server rebooted?
