I agree knowledge of all three is important (I have some qmail, next to no postfix, and have stayed away from sendmail at the urging of others) to me, being from a MS world, it's more important to get people off of MS Exchange and onto *nix than Sendmail to anything. If there were migration paths from Exchange to any *nix server, then the world would be a safer and spam freer (such a word?), and I could sleep at night knowing that I won't get any more calls to fix some MCPs Exchange install in the middle of the night.
just my two cents (and a bit of a rant - pardon), please don't take this as any type of argument about what the topic should be. I'd still show up. Speaking of which.... could someone repost the meeting vitals?
