Hey...new to this list (just found out about it recently) - I've been
on the Suncoast LUG for a while now...I, too am running into issues with
getting Postfix config'd...not an easy task. Right now I'm using a
fairly stable Hula build (www.hula-project.org). Simple to setup
(browser based), but a bit unstable at present. Has spam and antivirus
capabilities with spamassassin and clamav.
