I've been running sendmail myself for years, and am fine with it, but I have to set-up some new servers where I'm not the only maintainer.
There is a general consensus that postfix is easier to use, so I thought it'd be a good idea to use it in these cases instead of my default of sendmail, anyone know of a decent resource for someone switching?[/list] |

The Postfix Documentation is very thorough with tons of examples.
It is ready to go almost out of the box if using a standard local machine and its accounts.
Rather than pointing to a porting guide, ask questions and those who are experienced can help (after reviewing any documentation first). |

This was my problem in the end, no one tells you what it does "out of the box" and I was looking for documentation to set-up "default features".
I found a pretty well curated container that suits this use case better, as it doesn't really expose anything potentially detrimental and has a much smaller "configuration surface" to document for the other admins. Alas my understanding of postfix is still a almost zero, maybe next time... |
