I´m not talking about the quality, speed, or reliability of sendmail or qmail. Just the approachability for less-than-deeply-techy people looking for a solid but easy-to-config MTA. I chose postfix, essentially just one config file, for IMGate as being the easiest for NT GUI jockeys who never touched *nix before, and I haven't, nor have they, been sorry.
