    No, I'm not kidding.  I followed several threads about postfix security
on Bugtraq and did not see any concerns there *or* anything from the
pro-postfix people that would suggest to me that postfix is any more secure
than any other MTA.  What I did read was that it was a trade-off of a group
readable directory versus a SUID binary.  Needless to say that appears to me
1/2 of one, 6 of the other.
