Extol, extol, extol.
I changed from using Sendmail several years ago. Haven't cracked the Bat Book
in ages. And I can do more complicated things with Postfix in simpler ways
than I ever could with Sendmail. If you have the option, now is a good time to
change. You'll never miss the sendmail.cf file, I promise.
You also won't have to worry so much about upgrading for bug fixes and
exploits. I don't remember ever hearing of an exploit against Postfix, since
I've been using it.
