If you've never edited /etc/sendmail.cf, and recreated your configs,
etc, then moving to Postfix and finding how much easier it is to
configure will be the best move you ever made.

(also a reformed sendmail "junkie"... but the addiction was forced by

more functionality, and I didn't want to get buried in m4, mc, cf hell
