Hi Mario;

I have been using Postfix as a server for almost a year and I have had no trouble at all. What you ask is the secret of this amazing thing? I'll tell you; it is a book I purchase called, "Postfix" by Richard Blum, SAMS, 201 West 103rd Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46290 and the most important ISBN 0-672-32114-9.

This is the FIRST book I have ever found about an opensource program that was written to the level of the average person. My complaint with programmers is they WILL NEVER use a simple word when a much more complicated one can be found. It seems they have to prove to the world that they did learn something in college.

Anyway, you may be interested in this mail program and I totally agree with you about (barf, barf) Sendmail.

Joe

. For this can be said about the generality of men: that they are ungrateful, fickle, dissembling, anxious to flee danger, and covetous of gain. So long as you promote their advantage, they are yours, as I said before, and will offer you their blood, their goods, their lives and their children when the need for these is remote. When the need arises, however they will turn against you.
