I don't get it. Honestly. I've been using both during my sysadmin life, for ages, but the advantages of postfix over exim far outweigh any reason I could ponder to go with exim. Especially in a control panel fashion. The postfix docs alone are so much better written. Always costs me ages to find the matching options in exim, if they even exist, because some just don't.
Please, could someone help me understand this weird limiting choice of exim in this otherwise great open source panel ?
Yeah I know, exim comes with debian, but so does apache, which you're also not forcing down our throats.

I've literally tried and worked out *all* existing control panels for linux servers, but none come close to the quality and maintenance that Vesta offers, so the fact that you've chosen to limit yourselves to NOT offer postfix had me return to simple non-control panel servers again. Such a sad story, that my favored control panel made that cold hard wrong choice.

Thanks for your choice and warm words ;)

It's true, we don't support postfix yet. The choice of software has been like historically. We know exim better than postfix.
It's not impossible to add postfix, but I don't know for sure, how long will it take.

Not too many votes for this on tracker a little more on github ;-(
