I can't believe that CPG has less maintenance requirements than any other
mail system.  With sendmail and uw-imap/pop3, I was spending less than 5
hours a week on mail server maintenance.  Most of that was cleaning out
mailboxes with thousands of messages.

I've used a postfix/cyrus combo.  It had similar maintenance requirements.

Now, I'm using qmail and friends.  I'm not in production yet, but from
everything I see so far, this is going to be a near-zero maintenance system.
I'll be suprised if I spend more time on mail than I do on the OS itself.
