Postfix problems?

[Martin Hepworth]

Lance

There is a 'difference of ideas' between how Weitse and Julian want
thingsto work. Weitse objects to MS's major design of simply moving
messages from one queue to another.

Other than that Julian keeps well up to date with Postfixs changes and
MS works very nicely with Postfix

AS for Sendmail - quote me security issue in last 3 years with modern
versions. I'm no fan of sendmail myself (yucky 1980's config file syntax
mainly) so I'm not particulary defending it, just trying to dispell
myths when taling about old and new versions of sendmail.

If you want an alternative to sendmail/Postfix, have a look at exim.
Plays very well with MailScanner and support from the two maintainers at
Cambridge Uni is excellant. (like Julian's support of MS is )
