There seems to be a lot of postfix bashing around here.

But I have not seen someone do the rather obvious thing and bridge the 
gap of 2 philosofies. If someone can write a small helper in C for example 
it can listen all day for SMTP on port 10125 for example and write 
messages to a queue. And another little helper to do the other way around.

I once saw a proposal in the archives once to do it in Perl but for a 
longterm job a C program seems more reasonable and effective solution.

I, for one, have a number of reasons to keep running postfix. We have 
to support different vendors with solutions around postfix so using it 
myself is the best way to keep up to speed. And I have build some config 
options I can no longer figure out how to do with sendmail for example.

Unfortunatly I have not gone past the 'hello world' stage on C coding so 
it is not something I can do myself (any time soon).
