Is PostConf secure enough to use across the Internet?

    Yes.  PostConf was designed from the beginning with 
    the highest security standards:

      * The Postfix MTA has the best security track record 
      of any SMTP server software.  It is sponsored by IBM 
      and engineered by Wietse Venema of satan and tcp_wrapper 
      fame.

      * The Java programming language is far and away the 
      most secure available with built-in memory management, 
      type-checking, and access controls.

      * Apache's Jakarta/Tomcat web server is the most secure 
      available.

    We still recommend, of course:

      * Defining strong passwords.

      * Using only the https protocol with its SSL 
      encryption.

    and, optionally:

      * Restricting login access to just the networks which 
      require it.
