Although I am identified as running Postfix there, that was installed as a test a while ago. Most of my upstream servers (including those which I control) run Exim and I will probably switch nail back to Exim on next upgrade. There are problems with Postfix that I just haven't figured out and cause me problems: 1. it doesn't seem to have as many anti-spam possibilities as Exim - there's postgrey for greylisting, but how can I tarpit RBL matches and other offences? 2. when an email that I'm forwarding (due to /etc/aliases or a .forward or whatever) comes in, can I start trying to send it straight out and SMTP-reject it if the remote host doesn't want it? My only production postfix server generates some blowback from joe-jobs if users forward mail to a more restrictive host, which I think is a serious problem. I'd love to know if the above are solved problems whose solutions I've not found. Otherwise, you may want to discount my appearance on http://wiki.debian.org/DefaultMTA as that Postfix won't last.
