Where is my nomex? I use both postfix and qmail for various different reasons. Postfix has a very familiar feel to sendmail. So if you have a lot of mind share in sendmail already I would suggest that you look in that direction. Postfix has an extremely active user/developer base new features are constently being added. Qmail has been critized for being "stagnate" (in my opion the "if it ain't broke" kinda thing). Personally I use Postfix for relay servers, spam/virus gateways, backup mx servers, etc... and I host all of my user accounts on qmail. Check out http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ which will give you the best introduction into what qmail is. Like I said before, if you are coming from a legacy sendmail environment I would suggest postfix.

As a hosting provider we manage their web and email services. Our boxes were configured with Sendmail and we have had no need to change. No need fixing something which is not broken. :) basically have not had the time to change. As our company grew we became more familiar with running BSD and aware of other alternatives. I was wondering what mail servers fellow ISP are running. I can't decide between postfix or qmail. Any advantages or disadvantages would be greatly appreciated.
