Sendmail is responsible for 70% of all e-mail delivered +on the Internet. With an estimated 100 million users, that's an +estimated 10 billion (10^10) messages daily. A stunning number. + +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 to it, so that it can evolve with +input from and under control by its users. + +In other words, IBM releases Postfix only once. I will be around +to guide its development for a limited time. |
