The strict policy works well for reasonably default configurations.  On all 
the machines I use seriously (IE not test machines) I run the strict policy.  
It's been working well for me for years.

But using strict policy requires that you know how to write policy if you want 
to go too far from the defaults, if this is a problem for you then you want 
the targeted policy.

We plan to continue slowly adding domains to the targeted policy.  Sendmail, 
Postfix, PostgreSQL and MySQL are all good candidates for that.
