However, Sendmail has many more predefined macros, which can be used in rule sets for handle dynamic routing, headers-rewrites, queues, milters, MDA's, etc, for example. That's what I meant when said "limitations and exotic features". Not saying that Postfix is "bate quebrado" ;-) Without being a fan, I rise the flag for Postfix; I just know the power of Sendmail too. Best regards Alberto Mijares
