I see nothing but constant affirmation of best practices in the design of and support for Postfix. Even someone who runs a hobby server like I do with ~1000 mails a day can run a safe mail server with a reasonable effort thanks to this resource. Don't feed the troll, but do tell me if there is any backscatter source typical of a Postfix install that I might need to watch for. Speaking as someone who runs an application that generates automated mail (a play by email game server), I'm grateful for returned mail and I take care to make sure that it goes someplace where it can be used to stop the sorceror's apprentice from making more brooms. I hate it when providers don't notify me when they won't deliver mail because it doesn't give me a chance to fix the problem. Chris Babcock http://usak.asciiking.com
