Hi Luciano,


> I've a simple question, postfix or qmail?

the simple answer: both are good.

If you're using sendmail right now, the change to postfix should be easier.

I've heard that postfix is slightly faster when it comes to really 
massive number of emails (less disc-writing) but that shouldn't bother 
you with 300 accounts.

Perhaps licensing questions?

I don't think so. Both are heavy-used sendmail-replacements.
