hello Wietse, We have been running hundreds of Postfix servers for more than twenty years now and all this thanks to you. Postfix is the best MTA ever came out of an human brain. It is the swiss knife for mail things.
Postfix is to the mail what linux is to the OS, magic, fast, low energy. many many thanks for what you did and you still do ! best regards, Franck from LYON (France) De : "Wietse Venema via Postfix-users" A : "Postfix users" Envoyé: jeudi 14 Décembre 2023 14:21 Objet : [pfx] 25 years today As a few on this list may recall, it is 25 years ago today that the "IBM secure mailer" had its public beta release. This was accompanied by a nice article in the New York Times business section. There is some literature at https://www.postfix.org/press.html that attests how this project accelerated open-source adoption by a very large company. At the time there were several efforts by people inside IBM to do open-source projects, but it was the NY Times article that brought open source on the radar of the CEO. He then tasked people to come up with an open-source strategy for IBM. As for the name Postfix, my colleagues and I had come up with multiple names that were rejected each time (I still have some Internet domains names from that time). We decided that this was not going to work, released it as "IBM secure mailer", and then, after IBM was no longer in control, changed the name to Postfix. That was a long time ago. Postfix has evolved as the Internet has changed. I am continuing the overhaul of this software, motivated by people like you on this mailing list.
