    I'm sure this going to get lost in the flurry of praise for Postfix but it has to be said.

    I started out using sendmail on redhat and hosestly, not knowing much about how email works. When I switched to postfix, I learned A LOT about how email works and how a dozen programs all fit together to make it work. And at the center, is Postfix.

    It truely is one of the reasons that UNIX is so great. It's just an MTA but it provides the glue to make a full mail system that rivals some of the best proprietary systems out there.
