No offense taken ... :)
Good. I was a little worried about that. :-)
The new method is a bit easier, and I am working now on a guide for CentOS-4 that does it the new way and uses cyrus-imapd.
I have used the other way (two postfixes) on several high volume servers, and have personally had no problems. Other people have said they sometimes have issues with the two postfix setup.
On a related point: I have been reading over in the postfix user list archives how they are *really* down on mixing MailScanner and Postfix. They say fairly serious queue, email and filesystem corruption is a certainty. Yikes. I'm stressing out now that I just invested a ton of time coming up to speed on MailScanner over the past 10 days. :-\ Anyone have advice for me? Is it really that bad? Does the one instance of Postfix help (or better yet *fix*) this issue? Do recent versions make things any better/worse here?
They seem to like amavisd-new.
As soon as we finish CentOS-4.1 (or maybe before, depending on how long RH takes to go from the beta update1 to it's release), I should be able to change my CentOS-3.x guide to the single postfix instance mode and get a CentOS-4 postfix guide out the door.
Glad to help if I can.
