I've been running postfix for several years. It's easy to use and it works! More than that I don't want/need (though I do use mailman with it to handle the bogofilter mailing lists). Hi, I have few (small) sites that run postfix under my control and I also would recommend it. However if you require some advanced features from postfix (anti-virus, spamassassin etc.) then be prepared for few surprises on upgrade and looking through configuration files + documentation + changelog. Once it cought me with my pants down and left my sites for few days without mail until I found source of the problem. Still, postfix is the best IMVHO.

The moral of the story is that that the move between 2.0 to 2.1 or 2.1 to 2.2 or 2.2 to 2.3 are actually major updates and a number of things change within the internals of Postfix. If you don't actually look at the change logs you will run into problems. On the other hand each of these releases introduced some nice functionality. 2.1 was policy servers which made graylisting easy, 2.2 changed SQL syntax which made the queries you could do much more powerful, 2.3 was actual sendmail style milters that didn't need to be requeued. I've been really happy with Postfix over the past 4 years. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
