Except for a few mysterious MS created files my Postfix/MailScanner
combo has been stable. This is my first implimentation of MailScanner
on a Postfix base and has been running for about 6 months. I keep
finding files in /var/spool/postfix/maildrop that don't belong
and I can't seem to track them down. They are definately coming
from MailScanner, I just haven't figured out exactly where or why.
Anyway, other than that it works great.
Is that anecdotal enough for you? :)
We're only running (at peak) a couple thousand messages per day
through here, ATM, so it's not a good indicator of a high
volume situation. The hardware is a beige box P4, 1.6Ghz w/
512MB of RAM. The box is our main mail server and runs an
exchange-like mail server package (which is why I'm using
postfix in the first place -- that's how the package is
configured), along with some small web based apps.
Maybe that's helpful.
