Evil proprietary crud.  Caused extreme vendor lockin mentality at a

Not evil but convoluted and old.  Postfix seems to be a good replacement.

Only available cooked from source "to prove you are worthy", and cooking
it is nontrivial.  I guess running qmail is an impressive statement, but
Postfix seems fine and is binary packaged as part of Fedora.

Don't know anything about it, but... come closer, child... sniff sniff
yes I can smell the Evil Propietary crudness.

Postfix is a pretty good solution I guess if your office is not huge,
but that is one piece of the jigsaw... if you use IMAP for example you
can choose between Dovecot and other IMAP servers.  Postfix+Dovecot
works okay to start with anyway.
