Eh, I dunno. Sure, it's easier to say

hack('all-my-local-hacks')

than to hack them right into a .cf, but you have to write them anyway,
then encode them into that m4 gibberish, then use hack(). I'm working on
an antispam system, for eventual distribution, and the biggest TODO in
front of me is figuring out how to generate all the m4 files from my
native rulesets without horking everything up. I'm NOT a fan of m4. 

Postfix is nice, though - we run it on one of our boxes, for practice;
I'd considered switching back earlier this year before I dumped so much
time hacking the .cf to make the spamload manageable.
