yes me to i used to use sendmail in past for internet mail and or
local mail. there never was a "problem" except that certain people
(who are promoting other mail programs) keep trying to destroy it.
i'm not a maintainer (yet? i have no passwords microsoft didn't
steal/block me from using)
i'm disturbed by the huge number of orphans and wnpp's the current
admins have been at the helm of: breaking software that works
sendmail worked great since Sun Microsytems used it and still does.
if it "needs help" it's due to whatever damage debian did to it to
cause it not to work.

is the last hack i saw (never worked on my system, it promised to add
security to mail hub connects)
cowboy didn't help sendmail config he hurt it. though it wasn't easy
before, he made it more complicated and customized to his needs,
instead of less, instead of more like sendmail books would say.
-----------------------
for local use neither exim or sendmail are wise choices the extra
setup headache isn't worth it while yahoo and microsoft are bullying
the internet with email blocking and blacklisting
blacklisting had been (is) illegal here in the USA, ie, telephone
company rules of use and etc
----------------------------
orphan it kill it damage hack sendmail all you like
it's still works fine compiles from original source (easier than
debian pkg actually)
-------------------------
someone needs a to start paying for what they break. (sendmail aside
that's a config issue)
no more damned exceptions
