following some very worthwile suggestions from sluggers, I've installed Postfix 2.x, after few initial glitches of the 'where do I start?' as well as 'what do I do with this' type, it all works very well, including anti-uce averaging 75% REJECTs, and, so far, only one known false positive. So, thanks for the suggestions and help !
but, perusing my postfix logs, I noticed some reject for my own domain name, looking further, I see this: one of the vhosts fwrds mail to a remote isp, the mail has @sbt.net.au sender; why would a remote sendmail REJECT then ACCEPT 'sbt.net.au' as domain name ? I've asked on a Postfix list, but was told 'you're rejected by sendmail, ask a sendmail expert' as there are some sendmail experts here.... ..
