Well, this had me thinking... So I just had to do the same:-). I used
MailScanner for approximately a year before hitting a bug I couldn't
fix myself (the imfamous inode reuse problem, endemic to Postfix:-).
First post (to the MW list, then a week or so later to this list) was
early november 2004. So the pensioners, all unknowing, have been
benefiting (if there is such a word:-) for at least 7 years.
