Ditto here. I've switched to postfix after a talk by
Wietse Venema at the SANE 1998:
  http://www.sane.nl/events/sane98/daily/19/venema.html
(postfix was still named VMailer back then)
and never looked back since. I was lucky doing so, because
soon after, there had been a flurry of sendmail exploits,
while postfix kept chugging along undisturbed. But more
importantly, its behaviour under stress and huge traffic
bursts is excellent.
