Oh, well, I suppose I've never seen an idle postfix take up any noticeable CPU time or memory
on any of my systems.
How can it not take up memory? It may be swapped out, but there should
be something there watching port 25, at least.
It does seem to be event triggered, like a connection to port 25 or
whatever other ports it is configured for. So it would be idling for
the post part. But then when you use it for a simple MDA action, is it
written modularly so you only load what is needed?
Yeah, not too bad. But to configure postfix for only this function and
to protect against any misuse, is yet something else to do.
Plus writing my own script has been fun and educational! ;)
The problem is with cron. I am going to have to drop a note to Vixie; it
has been a couple years since the two of us have had fun sparing...
really he is a great guy, and I learned a lot from him working on IETF
mail and dns workgroups.
