postfix is so simple youŽll probably be confused looking for complexity.

grab the pub/postfix/experimental/ latest tar.gz and compile from source, 
never fails for me.

IŽve just built two postfix send-only gateways, getting only about 30K msgs 
hour (10 to 20kb per msg) because the message generation machine canŽt keep 
the postfix gateways busy.  They spool to mfs, and a 3rd gateway acts as 
fallback relay for troublesome messages.
