Postfix is *so* configurable that a single point & click installer is just nonsense. I don't think Postfix 'installation' as it is could be any easier than Debian: apt-get install postfix. That's the easy bit. It's the configuration that takes the skill. Fair play to Linuxmagic if they can offer the support - which is what corporates want. Selling cobbled together open source is nothing new. Some even bundle it together in a low spec PC: http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/products/spam_overview.php But you *do* get support for it. Hence the sales.
