Postfix (Software)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computing, Postfix is a free and open-source mail transfer agent that routes and delivers electronic mail. It is intended as a fast, easier-to-administer, and secure alternative to the widely-used Sendmail MTA. It is released under the IBM Public License 1.0 which is a free software licence. Originally written in 1997 by Wietse Venema at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center and first released in December 1998, Postfix continues as of 2012 to be actively developed by its creator and other contributors. The software is also known by its former names VMailer and IBM Secure Mailer.
