I chose postfix for this particular case because I wasn't doing anything elaborate with the messages and I wanted something that was as "compatible" as possible...the exact configuration for the system I was setting up I couldn't find any simple HOWTOs for, and there is a lot of material for Sendmail and Postfix floating around out there and if documentation said that a particular program, like Amavis, worked with Sendmail then chances were pretty good that it would work with Postfix too since Postfix was designed to be a drop-in replacement for Sendmail. Postfix is also pretty simple to set up, in my experiences. Once I get the server here set up to production level, I'm planning on writing up how I configured it and I'm hoping to get permission to put it in out for people to use as a reference if they have a project like this one to do; I don't know if people would be interested but I know I could have used a guide like this :-) -Bart
