I think one of the biggest mental differences between sendmail/exim and postfix relates to whether you prefer rigorous definition or scriptable flexibility. I really love the vicious, table-oriented regularness of postfix, and don't enjoy the script-y, regex-y looseness of sendmail/exim. Other admins positively thrive on it, though. Your postfix looping issues were most likely PEBKAC too... :-) But given experience with other systems, it's better to just go with what you know. That's the most important thing for any sysadmin to take away from a discussion like this: Learn something well and kick butt with it (and be flexible enough to learn other things when there's good reason to). > Here, here. itym "hear, hear"...
