Please note that postfix does not undergo the rigorous code scrub that sendmail goes through. Hence, if you are on a production machine, I'd suggest you to use sendmail, and not postfix. Postfix used to be my favorite too, but since the day I know how to configure and use sendmail, I feel it is the best MTA I've ever used. YMMV. -Amarendra
