Summary : Postfix Mail Transport Agent
Description :
Postfix, see http://www.postfix.org, aims to be an alternative to the
widely-used sendmail program, which is responsible for 70 percent of
all e-mail delivered on the Internet.

Although IBM supported the Postfix development, it abstains from control
over its evolution. The goal is to have Postfix installed on as many
systems as possible. To this end, the software is given away with no
strings attached, so that it can evolve with input from and under control
of its users.

Be sure to read http://www.moongroup.com/postfix-faq/c22.html which covers
steps which should be taken prior to and after the installation of Postfix.

See http://post.dialin.co.uk/~sjmudd/postfix for source and binary rpms.

You can contact the authors of the binary rpms built as follows:
   i386: Simon J Mudd <sjmuddpobox.com> (built on RH 5.1 & rpm 2.5.3)
   s390: Klaus Jaehne <klaus.jaehneto.com> (for S/390-Linux)
  alpha: Klaus Jaehne <klaus.jaehneto.com>

Thanks again,
Chuck
