I have worked with sendmail for a long time, and have made consulting
money helping companies to configure their sendmail systems. But "like"
and "trust" are words I'd never use together with sendmail. Even after
having worked with sendmail for a long time, I found qmail considerably
easier to get started with (and easier to configure in general).

If Postfix can help us get away from sendmail as the default, I'd say
it's definitely a good thing.

But I fear this discussion is going in the religious direction...
