Pros: Incredibly flexible anti-spam capabilities that allow lots more mail
to be rejected instead of being accepted and bounced (thereby reducing
network impact and server load), with significant whitelisting capability to
minimize false positives.

Cons: Incredible flexibility comes at a cost of some complexity. Still have
to manage a separate POP/IMAP server software, which creates one more
management hurdle. Documentation much less available than Postfix or
Sendmail; the O'Reilly book covers 3.x when the software is up to 4.x. As
far as I know, the only book that really documents the current rev is
written by the author and published by the Cambridge press. There is lots of
Web-based documentation, but I'm luddite enough to like the feel of paper.

My opinion-- I like it enough that I'm probably going to use it as a gateway
for my CGPro installation. But there is a learning curve involved, and you
are going to have to download and compile the software.
