And I thought you were only after a distro-war :)  Having used and sworn
by both Sendmail and Postfix, I must say they both rock.  Coming from
Sendmail, however, Postfix took me a bit of getting used to.

Haven't spent much time on it, although it seems to work ok for a
workstation with the exception of certain things (like IPSEC in my
case).  But then I've been a home-grown firewall fan since learning
IPCHAINS back in '99.  Since NetFilter came out, then Webmin's
web-interface to NetFilter, I find no appealing reason to use canned
firewall scripts...
