Talk:Wietse Venema

Bad wording?
The article says "Dr. Wietse Zweitze Venema (born 1951) is a Dutch programmer and physicist best known for writing the Postfix mail system. He has also written numerous other security related tools, such as....". "other security related tools" implies that the "Postfix mail system" is a security related tool as well. However, while the Postfix mail system is considered to be quite a good and secure MTA, it is certainly not a "security realted tool".

Since I'm an exim-guy myselfe and not a postfix-lover, I hesitate to perform a change myself and would like someone else to do this. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.13.72.153 (talk) 14:56, 23 October 2008 (UTC)


 * He wrote Postfix because he wanted a secure MTA, after concluding that sendmail was a monolith and unfixable for that reason; a completely new design was required. So security is the reason Postfix exists: it is secure software, but it is not security software. Rp (talk) 10:05, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I think I improved it
The opening paragraph jumped out at me as well. I made an effort to improve it. Postfix may be my favorite MTA but I doubt that it influences my grammar.
