Not only is it everything Postfix aspires to be, it has a zillion hours of runtime under its belt. Its been at the 1.03 release forever because there hasn't been anything to fix. If I had one complaint it would be to do an integration pass over the various pop3/imap/ssl/etc modifications to create an integrated pop3/mta that could allow for roaming delivery out of the box. --Chuck
