I used to be one of sendmails biggest fan in the 90's and early 2000's, but when something far better and less complex comes along (because we all know more complexity = more possible links in teh chain to fail, not to mention all others who have to manage those servers have to be woith it all as well), after 6 months I regretted not moving our systems over to postfix sooner, it was 2008 when I made that move.
