Postfix for the Linux business desktop (NewsForge)

[Posted October 21, 2004 by cook]

Marcel Gagné looks at the Postfix mail transport agent in a NewsForge article. "The advantages of Postfix include enhanced security, relatively simple configuration, and excellent performance. Postfix's increased security comes partly from its modular design. Each process handles some portion of the mail delivery cycle and none of these processes run setuid root. As has been observed, Postfix doesn't even trust itself."
