Part of the problem is that e-mail security checks are constantly
changing as people react to spam and hacking.
This means that a setup that has worked for a few years without any
problem suddenly starts to have trouble with one or two connections
since sending or receiving SMTP servers for some sites have changed
their connection validation.
It is a PITA to go back to work on a Postfix and DNS setup that has not
been touched for years.
The Postfix reference books in my library are 10 and 12 years old! Still
very useful!
Webmin does make it a bit easier but if you have not looked at the setup
configuration for a while it takes a bit of study and concentration of
get back into the Postfix data structure.

To configure a smtp server is not easy task. It takes long, and you

lazy or not capable admins. Some of them just do not have the time to
do it properly, because they have too much work to do already. Also,
if the server is used in a service provider, for a number of domains,
it is even more difficult to do it.
Anyway, I agree 100% with Chalmers and Horne. And, creating good code,
with no - or almost none - security problems, and easy to manage, with
lots of utilities is the work of Wietse. To configure, test, running
and maintening is OUR work. If it is not well-configured, it is not
"shame on Wietse", it is "shame on me"...

Nothing at all, as long as you take the time to learn how to configure
it properly, all your stats seem to show is that many admins are too
lazy (or not capable) of doing this. That being the case, I
suggest you
use a third party mail provider or learn how to configure Postfix
