Having extolled the virtues of installing Postfix over Qmail, I guess I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't offer to write some documentation for it 😊. As I mentioned, I've only ever had need for an outgoing only configuration, but when I've got some time, I'll have a crack at writing a parallel guide to installing Qmail. I'll make the setup functionally as close to that for Qmail as possible. What I can't do is offer any meaningful experience of using Postfix to process incoming mail queues and the like, though maybe I'll try and set up a test environment for that.
Regarding proposals for handling incoming mail, is there some location where these are gathered? I'd be interested in having a look, but all I've found was TIP #26, and 'incoming mail' is a sufficiently vague search term to not work so well. I believe Postfix can be configured to use Qmail-style Maildir mailboxes, which go some distance to providing compatibility.
Thx,
Tom
