[OpenIndiana-discuss] OT postfix v.s Qmail

[Gary Gendel]

Dan,

I've been using qmail since the end of the 80's

Yes, greylisting is a powerful tool.  I get that with spamdyke for 
qmail.  Spamdyke and mailfront were the two biggest reasons that I 
stayed with qmail so long.

I saw two greylisting packages for postfix when I was doing my 
searching.  I'm convinced that I want to go to postfix, but it looks 
like it will be a painful transition.

I've got two chains.  One from port 25 that uses spamdyke, and one from 
port 587 that uses mailfront (to give me SSL/TLS and authorization).  
Since they both converge at the qmail-queue process that handles the 
delivery portion, it's a nice clean path to delivery.  I may try to use 
postfix to replace one first so I can really thresh out the issues.
