I've been running Postfix after migrating from Sendmail for the better part of a year now. I found it much easier to set up in the areas of virtual hosts, authentication, relaying and content filtering. I'd suggest starting with the Postfix documentation at www.postfix.org. You will also find several helpful README's in the source distribution, just 'cd /usr/ports/mail/postfix && make extract' and you can browse through them before you decide to build and install it. You might also consider joining the Postfix mailing list, as it's a better place for questions on Postfix than this list. I'll warn you in advance though, RTFM, because they can be a bit hostile if you appear not to have. Mike
