Typical Deployment
As an SMTP server, Postfix implements a first layer of defense against spambots and malware. Postfix is often combined with other software, for spam/virus filtering (e.g., Amavisd-new), for message store access (e.g., Dovecot), and perhaps for complex SMTP-level access policies (e.g., policyd-weight or greylisting).
As an SMTP client, Postfix implements a high-performance parallelized mail delivery engine. Here, Postfix is often combined with mailing list software (e.g., Mailman).

Famous quotes containing the word typical:
“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
—W. T. Lhamon, U.S. educator, critic. “Material Differences,” Deliberate Speed: The Origins of a Cultural Style in the American 1950s, Smithsonian (1990)
