What problem are you trying to solve? If the question is "can Postfix do

you are able to administer and debug.".

I do prefer, no doubt about it, qmail.
Check www.shupp.org, and install in a twinkle the best mail server
(imho, of course).
And after, enjoy with a master piece of software.

What features were the deciding factor for you to choose Qmail? I don't
have any experience with Qmail myself, I chose Postfix because it has a
great support community, a very active development and the documentation
is extensive and accurate. Features like DSN and Policy Server/Milters
also became very important.

Do as you like. It's only my advice.

But after many years testing nearly every mail server, I don't change
qmail for anything in this world. It's simply a master piece of
software. People who knows me also know my opinion about qmail, and I
think this way from 1998-1999, when I tested the first time.

All features you like in a mail server, qmail does have them. So, why
don't you try and if not of your taste, install any other.
I can assure you my qmail is really the same I've got from 2002. And I
sleep peacefully while qmail works. That's not good, I know, but if you
don't want be ever watching a mail server, install qmail and forget
yourself.


If I had to choose another MTA other than Postfix I would probably switch
to Exim.

Postfix and Exim are two great mail servers, but I still do prefer
qmail, because (and it's only my opinion) is much better in most cases.
qmail version is the same from 1998, and it does not need any more; but
there are many people around helping and making "add-ons", making it
more powerful and never, never, never has a security hole or anything
like these.
However, sendmail or postfix really have holes... or is that not true?

So decide and have a try qmail, and you'll not be disappointed.

Cheers,
Alejandro.
