[snip] I did not see "tons" of doc on the postfix.org site. Sure there are some but not as many as on the qmail.org site. [/snip] Not having played with qmail, I am in a position of weakness in this dicussion. However, I found postfix documentation more than adequate. Maybe its just a simpler system to comprehend and the requirement for the extra volumes of docs/faqs just isn't there. To me that seems a distinct advantage. But thats just my 2c worth.

I installed a brand new fresh freebsd system and installed the Postfix port from the Sysinstall program and it failed! Then I downloaded the latest Postfix .tgz from the FreeBSD.org ftp site and used pkg_add to it and it failed again! Maybe I'll try the compiling from source some other day! I did not see "tons" of doc on the postfix.org site. Sure there are some but not as many as on the qmail.org site. I am a newbie to freebsd and I think extensive documentation from many sources is very important so that's why I will still choose qmail over postfix.
