Yeah sharky..... I've been in a quandry on what email system to move to....I just don't have the time to make a career out of supporting sendmail, so it's either postifx (direct drop in for sendmail) or qmail. Lots of folks seem to like qmail...just a hassle to create all those accounts since it separates functions into small portions and assigns a user to each function. The idea is that if you compromise one, you don't lose the rest....at least that's how it works in theory.
