Given all the potential security issues that are inherent in a mail
server, I'm not sanguine about the idea of using a packing in which
everything is installed and ready-to-go.  I'd be happier to see someone
spend some time educating themselves before becoming a potential target
on the 'Net.  (But I will check this package out.)

Do you have first-hand experience with it, or have you investigated it?
