Casey,

When you're using Open Source software, it makes sense (both to me and a 
lot of other folks) to only use and support the s/w that is licensed 
according to the principals to which we subscribe.

qMail (et al djb), PostFix, the new Apache are NOT BSD (i.e. completely 
free) licensed s/w and do not get our support. I have heard rumblings that 
the Sendmail folks have also decided to change their license, so that could 
also be an issue in the future.

If you don't care, then feel free to use whatever you like.
