Terry, we are supporting Post.Office, which includes SpamAssassin and 
is superior to both sendmail and postfix.  So Tenon will not help 
customers transition from 'sendmail' to 'postfix'.  We are, however, 
very happy to help people transition from sendmail to Post.Office, 
also a drop in replacement for sendmail in terms of CGI support.

Of course, it goes without saying, that if you already added 
SpamAssassin to sendmail and you are happy with your situation, that 
you don't have to update to Panther, right?
