First let's put it in main and wait a few months until more developers gave
postfix some real world experience wrt configurability. If postfix is
fast that's nice but the _default_ Debian MTA should be _very_ configurable
too as it's used in setups ranging from dialup home systems to heavily
loaded mailinglist managers.
I have got no postfix experience yet and I want to compare it to exim
before judging if it's better suited as Debian's default MTA.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
