Q3:
Was told by our vendor that they set up 'commercial' version of
sendmail which has a
separate interface/module GUI for whitelisting & blacklisting. Is
there a commercial
version of 'postfix' which we can get official (eg: supported by RHEL)
support with
add-on user-friendly interfaces/GUI?
If anyone can post a link/url that gave comparisons of the above 2
in the areas of stability, robustness & vulnerabilites, most appreciate it

It's my experience that just because an application has a commercial
counterpart, that doesn't necessarily make it better. Granted in many
cases when you pay for something you're kind of buying entitlement to
support. But if it's support you're looking for, I would strongly
advise you to consider looking for an IT to give you their
recommendation of which they will support for a fee.
I would expect for members this postfix maillist to have some bias
toward postfix over Sendmail. If they didn't feel it were they best,
they would probably be using something different.
I rarely use gui for my administration chores, except for the gui
frontends that I configure for my commandline commands. However I did
perform a quick Google search for Postfix and gui and found this:
http://postfixadmin.sourceforge.net/
I might explore it and so that I can give more feedback on this as well
as some of the other hits that came up. At a glance it does have a
support forum, which I consider important for any application that I
might consider a fixture in my environment.
I used Sendmail for years before I changed over to Postfix. Initially it
appeared to be less friendly than Sendmail. But after a short period of
time I appeared to be easier to setup and more friendly than Sendmail.
I had used Sendmail for about 10 years before changing to Postfix.
I don't have anything bad to say about either.
I changed to Postfix when I migrated to Ubuntu over Fedora.
