So yes, you are right, Postfix was developed from scratch. But you are wrong when you say qmail was not the basis for postfix.
I suspect Wietse would take issue with your definition of "comes from."
I hope he would. That is why I didn't say "comes from", which would mean it was derived from qmail. It was not.
That's like saying "Mr. X started out writing device driver patches for the linux kernel...so any subsequent software he writes must come from Linux."
That is not what I said, as I'm sure you know, since you read it.
Postfix is VERY different than qmail.
Care to compare Exim with S/Mail ? They are VERY different. Never the less, S/Mail was the basis of Exim.
Just check pre-1.0 versions of both (Postfix and Exim) and you will see what I mean.
