Oh dear.

Yes. When I started to look at postfix, as a move away from
sendmail, I started to look at the documentation on-line
and found that there was no PDF. I considered that I might be
able to contribute to postfix in the area of documentation,
so I downloaded it to see what sort of a project it was and
to see if I might be able to contribute. Having been burnt
badly in the past the first thing I went to check was the
source code license. Its the IPL (IBM Public License).
But this was after some searching. It's not obvious from
the web site. I mentioned this to the author and got
a very rude response that indicated my help would not
be welcome. 

Whatever open source MTA I use I want there to be
a possibility that I might be able to contribute
in areas such as bug reports, enhancement requests,
fixes and documentation improvements. But in order
for this to happen the license needs to be clear
and GPL'like, and there should be a reasonable chance
that contributions will be accepted or at least considered.
zmailer seems to offer more scope than postfix.

Yes, I know.
