It can do maildir style mailboxes if you want, does procmail, and has good virtual user support. Not sure what you mean by "relay based on mx", but Postfix's configuration allows for all sorts of weird setups if needed.

Years of experience with sendmail made me dread learning another monsterous system. Actually I just went down the config file and did the obvious things and it worked. It even relayed mail under the desired domain name without me having to spend three days living on fermented yak's milk in a hidden lamastary performing weird and unsettling chicken sacrificing ceremonies to the Great Old Ones. The O'Reiley book is comprehensible and the index takes you to the right page. On the whole I feel as if I have slipped into a parallel universe where email is a simple technological matter, not a deep religious mystery. -- Mail me as [EMAIL PROTECTED]_O_ |< ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
