i note postfix usurped sendmail much faster.

  sendmail was genuinely terrible: monolithic, unused, uninstallable attack vectors everywhere (echoes of openssl), near-binary configuration which required learning a complex macro language. Even Sendmail X bears more resemblance to Postfix than it does to Sendmail 9.

    Replying to myself: s/uninstallable/unremovable/. Though everyone seems to have got what I meant.

  funnily enough nginx also is a IMAP/POP3 proxy server

    It is also a SMTP proxy, so you can put nginx in front of your postfix servers.
