A list of benefits / advantages, install instructions, FAQ, etc etc etc... right now, its just a list of mirrors and a place to download the source... I havent downloaded it yet, and am not really interested in using it at this time but I am curious about it... The web site in its current state is semi-useless :( I'm definately not against postfix replacing sendmail, but heck right now sendmail works, and its one of those things you just don't touch unless you have to :) Mike Grommet Unix Systems Adminstrator Internet Solutions, Inc. mgrommet@insolwwb.net -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Peter Wemm Sent: Thursday, December 31, 1998 10:25 AM To: The Hermit Hacker Cc: current@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Pointer to Postfix distribution..

Postfix was formerly known as VMailer, and has had a good year or two of development by a rather well respected person with a pretty good security track record. The reason altavista doesn't see it is because the postfix.org thing is rather recent, as is the name (to avoid a potential trademark conflict). I regularly see stuff that's months out of date from altavista.
