Good to know.

Thanks.  I'm comfortable with postfix and since this is a single domain site
the configuration is trivial.  I prefer postfix as an MTA and since it
supports Maildir "out of the box" I'd just as soon switch to it right away,
even though the MTA is not the bottleneck.

Thanks for the input.  I'll follow up in a few weeks once we've done the
conversion to let you all know how it went.
