    Actually, I think the question you want to ask is, "Is postfix so
mind-boggling better than Exim that, aside from a small population of systems
which should have admins that can 'apt-get install postfix', it is worth the
trouble to switch the default of Debian again?"

    I use Exim now.  I'm thinking of switching over to Postfix for reasons
unrelated to performance.  Even *if* I am blown away by postfix, I don't
think the answer to the above question is "yes."
