[Sussex] Postfix Fun!

[Iain Stevenson]

... may I speak in defence of Postfix.  Its worked entirely reliably me for 
a long time now and the config files are much closer to plain English than 
the dreaded $endm at il.    You can integrate fax, virus scanning, spam 
detection and all those things you'd expect.

I haven't tried Exim and maybe it's even easier to set up.  It does seem as 
though all 'nix mail programs are bastards to configure - you just choose a 
bastard you're happy with ;-)
