25 years of Postfix
Friday December 15, 2023. 12:11 AM , from LWN.net
Wietse Venema posted a note to the postfix-users mailing list about the 25th anniversary of the Postfix mail server. As can be seen, it had a pivotal role in bringing more awareness of open-source software to IBM. Beyond that, of course, it is an excellent piece of software in its own right.
As a few on this list may recall, it is 25 years ago today that the 'IBM secure mailer' had its public beta release. This was accompanied by a nice article in the New York Times business section. There is some literature at https://www.postfix.org/press.html that attests how this project accelerated open-source adoption by a very large company. That release was even noticed by a small publication in its first year of operation. (Thanks to Kees van Vloten.)
