Wietse's Postfix (was VMailer) software release
From: wietse () PORCUPINE ORG (Wietse Venema)

The Postfix mail system is to be released as open source code via the IBM AlphaWorks web site on December 14th, 1998. The URL is: http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/ (N.B. this site uses javascript) Postfix is my attempt to provide an alternative to the Sendmail program, which probably delivers billions of email messages daily. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to configure, reliable and secure. The source code is released at no cost and with no strings attached. You are encouraged to install/use/enhance/sell Postfix anywhere. After the initial release by IBM, the Postfix software is expected to evolve under control by its users. Future releases are expected to happen from outside IBM. As the original author I will coach the Postfix evolution for a while. Additional information is available via a collection of web sites dedicated to the Postfix software: http://www.postfix.org/ Among others, these sites carry software that was contributed by the Postfix alpha testers, a small list with Postfix errata, and information about Postfix mailing lists. Happy Postfixing! Wietse
