Probably not, except for the part about fighting with your residential
ISP to let SMTP traffic through.  I'd say it's not such a big deal, but
I guess I did spend some time messing with it back when I first set
postfix up.  These days I'm reluctant to change anything just because
it's been so long I expect I've forgotten where all the tricky bits
are.  Unlike some others, I've spent lots more time on other things
after a server upgrade than the email.  But that might be Debian vs.
Ubuntu - the latter is IME a lot more fragile on upgrades, dunno how
much of that is due to servers vs. desktop installs.
