Are you aware that because of this (people hard coding to sendmail) that
both Exim and Postfix provide a /usr/sbin/sendmail (or was is
/usr/lib/sendmail) binary that is perfectly compatible (at the
command-line option level) with sendmail?
I have used apps that were hard coded to use sendmail with postfix over
the past few years and never once encountered a problem.

How many times do I have to tell you this is not my decision to make? If it
was up to my I'd use Exim4. I've used it successfully in the past with
applications that specifically called for sendmail, but the person I'm doing
the for has required me to use sendmail.
Think I'd be knocking my head against the wall when there is something much
easier to use if I had a choice?
Anyway, thanks for nothing.
it goes in sendmail.mc
