I recently moved to OpenSMTPd though and have been quite happy with it for a few reasons: - i find the syntax for configuration to be much more straight forward than postfix which is probably what one would expect from OpenBSD affiliated software project. - i found it's integration with rspamd* to be pretty great for my uses. easier to configure and lower resource utilization than spamassassin IMHO. hope this helps, -pete *https://rspamd.com/ -- Pete Wright pete@nomadlogic.org @nomadlogicLA
