OK, now I think I'm going to put a mild heat on...

neither postfix, nor it's 'older' name vmailer - appear to exist in 
ports, so I see no possibility that any significant number of FreeBSD 
users has played with this code - thus it's definitely not ready to 
replace anything. Add to ports - yes.

the errata on the code on the postfix site indicates that it is beta, has 
definite known bugs (of what significance I don't know). And, although 
the author is well known and respected, I won't want to run such mission 
critical code without a long-term tire-kicking process.

A definite no to this code replacing anything for a while...
