Last month it was 20 years ago that I started writing Postfix code.
Having done a little digging among old files, I've just realized that
I've been using Postfix since autumn 2000 (or perhaps earlier).
I don't even think I was aware at that time that Postfix was a
relatively new piece of software.
It just worked.
And I could understand its configuration - which I more than I could
ever really say about sendmail.
I can't remember ever having to upgrade or fix anything quickly because
of security bugs (or other bugs, for that matter) in Postfix.
And that is a really important point for a small server that does not
have a staff standing by 24/7 ready to fix things at short notice.
I also appreciate the effort that has been done to keep things backwards
compatible: every Postfix upgrade I've done has been a trouble-free success.
And with the excellent documentation and the excellent support provided
here, Postfix is a true model of high quality software.
Thanks!
