Doesn't ezmlm rely on qmail? ezmlm relies on qmail's VERP capability. I don't know if Postfix has that. ezmlm probably has some other minor dependencies on qmail which would be easy to fix. ezmlm is probably as free or non-free as qmail itself is. qmail is probably free in the same sense that qt is: you can't distribute changed versions, but you are probably allowed to distribute patches to it ( http://cr.yp.to/softwarelaw.html ). You are also restricted from distributing qmail binaries unless you have not changed the source code. Postfix supposedly has a bug in which one local user can prevent another local user from receiving mail, but that probably does not matter for sourceware. See http://cr.yp.to/maildisasters/postfix.html I don't know if that is still up to date. I'm more or less a qmail fan. I'm also running Bernstein's DNS replacement, djbdns.
