      Greetings everyone!

       

      As I am getting ready to setup a new MailScanner server for
      our company, I have toyed with the idea of using a different
      MTA; specifically, Postfix. My background with MTA^Òs are in
      Sendmail, Postfix and Exchange. I have had very good success
      running MailScanner with Sendmail, but I wanted to switch
      things up a bit and possibly try Postfix here (keeps things
      fun and interesting, right?)

       

      Anyway, I was hoping to ask current users of Mailscanner with
      Postfix, if they could give me their feedback of what they
      like, dislike etc. Are there any known issues or problems?
      Any performance hits? Lost mail etc.


Personally, I like Postfix. It is sad that Jules and Wietse can't see eye
to eye as they are similar developers, in so much as they both write
good, reliable, continuously improving software with a nice simple
configuration file and documentation, although some what different
personalities! Performance hits, I haven't noticed any. Lost mail, not
for a very long time. Can Postfix do things that other MTAs can do, yes
and without re-building it or in many instances without needing plugins.
Is it the best/ better than anything else, well that's a question that
has started intercontinental wars :-)

Go for it. At least you can say you gave it a go!
