Oh, absolutely.  Of the fifteen-odd Linux machines under my care,
all but one are running postfix, and one (lugh) is running sendmail.
Changing it over to postfix is on my list, but there's all sorts of
odd hackery on lugh's mail config (the ILUG lists, various virtual
domains, a couple of IMAP boxes...) which I'd have to make sure
continued to work.  I'll get around to it eventually, but at the
moment I have a house to decorate...
