This isn't a postfix group, but... The main reasons (abbreviated) I switched from sendmail 8.11.x to postfix: 1) built in header/body checks that go off regexp/pcre 2) human-understandable configuration files (no .mc/.cf madness) 3) performance that puts sendmail to shame 4) advanced UCE hooks 5) complete replacement for sendmail After the switch, even more reasons that it was a good move: 1) great community support 2) code is maintained and actively developed/improved 3) MTA is extremely robust and reliable 4) updates are painless and error-free 5) I could go on Did I mention that is works wonderfully with mailman? :-) My mail list server was the first one to experiment with postfix. The results were so good that I moved all other smtp servers over a month or two later. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
