So do I.

After the standard set by sendmail, it's an incredible relief having
some truly secure MTAs available.

I think there's no possible question: sendmail may have set the
standard for features, but qmail set the standard for security.

Postfix has pretty well lived up to that security standard, which is
a wonderful achievement. It's made it to the point where I don't
have a qualm in the world about using Postfix as the MTA on a
firewall, the last role in which I continued to specify qmail after
postfix was released. It takes time to build that kind of
confidence, and postfix has established the track record to deserve
it. But let's never forget that qmail defined the category
"high-security MTA".
