It was utter dependency hell to install - like Russian Dolls for one thing - and to see your logs littered with Perl errors like;
postfwd: warning - "Use of uninitialized value $_ in scalar chop at /usr/sbin/postfwd line 1958. kind of pushed me away from it. I don't doubt it's very flexible, but it's just not for me. I like things to be very light on resources and fast. Despite Wietse being quite cutting and dismissive at times, his Postfix still rocks and is dead stable. I don't like to make it *unstable* by putting things on it unless really necessary. I watched Barracuda do this and break stuff and don't want to go down that road. That's all a different story and I'm very grateful for all the input I have had in dealing with time ranges.
