Hmmm. Interesting. So then Postfix is sort of a "dictatorship opensource 
project"? I would have thought that people would want their software to 
NOT break people's production servers.

Typically, how long has the lag been from a new version of Postfix that 
breaks things until a new version of MailScanner comes out that makes 
them work again?
