RE: Running own mail server

It is compatible meaning that it interacts with sendmail very well.
However, the configs files are written in English not Klingon like
sendmails config files are. I started using postfix over 3 years ago,
and when I started I went from being able to install a mail server
(sendmail) to a mail server expert in 10 minutes, just because postfix
mail files are so easy to understand. Now I'm not a real expert (I don't
think) but I think you get my drift.

I've seen this advice many times, and I find it easy to believe that
postfix is better, having run screaming from sendmail config files
in the past, but when I recently went to read up a bit on postfix,
the very first thing I read on the home page is:

If it is sendmail compatible, doesn't that mean it has the same
config file that can be used to frighten little children?

I'd be far more attracted to postfix if the homepage said it was
in no way remotely similar to sendmail :-).
