Weiste likes to do things his own way, so I'm sure milter support will 
progress as he sees fit. He will probably insist that the milters are 
re-written to his specs. I don't use postfix on my current production boxes, 
as I had a lot of sendmail experience under my belt. You tend to use the tools 
you are comfortable with.
But someday, I might be turned to the darkside.

I like some of the things that postfix does, but I am not in a big hurry to 
join the Postfix/MailScanner feud.

Maybe I'll learn Exim and be a rebel!
