Now that Plesk can support postfix I was wondering if I can have a hands up on how many people are using it postfix in plesk.
Also are you using the postfix with Amavis, ClamAV, and Spamassassin add-ons installed by the many howto's which are available.

I am having trouble with my current qmail Plesk install so are going to build a new one and want to use postfix and would love as many comments as possible.

Thanks in Advance

Postfix still has some quirks. The most notable is that some emails (like Yahoo) will throw Postfix for a loop and there is still not a reliable fix for it.

I would wait on it for now. Qmail still has qmail-scanner

Qmail, qmail-scanner and spyadyke together is working extremely well in my servers. Wouldn't switch until they have sorted out at least the most show stopping bugs...

I hadnt heard about the yahoo one, I know they and hotmail have a real fascist level anti-spam system. Is it related to that?

It's one you know about. I remember someone linking to the Parallels KB about it and you commenting on it. I find it's certain Yahoo and MSN/hotmail servers that set it off.

It's this problem

Amusingly the KB now tells you that it's broken in 9.2.2 and to switch back to Qmail lol

Have switched dev server to try Postfix a couple of times and gone back to Qmail because of the same issues others raised here. I would not consider moving away from qmail/qmail-scanner/spamdyke on a production box just yet.
