Postfix (the official name for Vmailer) has had an extensive alpha test
period which has been mostly closed. There appear to be some serious
sized sites that have been running with it even in alpha.
I am impressed by Postfix - I think it will be very much the mailer to
watch in 99. Its underlying security model certainly knocks that of
sendmail, smail and exim into a cocked hat (qmail is also good although
there are probably some interesting trade offs between them).
Incidently, the similar MTA BOF session at SANE98 three weeks back didn't
happen - mainly because the PGP talk and other BOFs overran. I had
volunteered to take issues on exim, Wietse & Brad Knowles were going to
run the session.
