As of today, the Postfix mail transport agent has almost 50,000 lines of code, comments not included.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The bulk of the emails tend to come after a column. I can get about 2,000 after a column.
I am not overlooking any mail. I'm looking at all of it. I even wrote back to the Viagra people.
I'm certainly getting a lot more mail... that's basically it.
The federal government spends millions to run the Postal Service. I could lose your mail for half of that.
The challenge with Postfix, or with any piece of software, is to update software without introducing problems.
I never looked at fan mail, for some reason. My mother and grandmother handled my mail - although it's not like I was ever in the stratosphere of Kirk Cameron or Scott Baio.
I did have a literal shed of fan mail once. It was literally filled with, like, 25 of those giant mail cartons.
It is hard to check five email inboxes, three voice mail systems, or five blogs that you are tracking.
After only two or three weeks in office, we discovered we had a backlog of 100,000 emails sent to me. We had a backlog of a thousand invitations to speak at places all over the country - and all over the world, for that matter.
The Postfix security model is based on keeping software simple and stupid.
