I would agree. Mail servers can be a pain to setup. However, if you do
it right it should work with out any problems.

This just works!
1. CentOS 4.3
2. Postfix
3. SpamAssassin
4. Webmin for administration

I set this up for a client back in April and they have never called me
back. I know I shouldn't complain but how am I supposed to make a
living? If it doesn't break I don't get paid for tech support.

Maybe I should have stuck with Windows.
