I agree.  I used to use sendmail, learned it pretty well, but then the
had a new version, and that threw me for a loop.  Postfix, well I just
add 3 lines in the main file, postfix reload, and I am off and running..
I believe it is more secure too, as I know of no security breaches ever
being made, just like with qmail.

Today's thought: Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I
cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to
hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off.
