It was decided long ago that Postfix will be extensible with different
tools from different manufacturers, allowing the system administrator
to choose the best tool for the job. This approach reflects that
the initial market was organizations, and that the initial audience
was system administrators.
Michael W. Lucas recently wrote a book for individuals who wish to
"run your own mail server". It covers a wide range of topics, and
I think it lowers the barrier for entrance (despite the claim that
it is for the hard-core Unix sysadmin, by a fellow hard-core sysadmin).
