Sendmail does what I want it to do, so I haven't found the urge to 
change. The long term advantage is that sendmail is open source AND has 
a commercial company behind it. Best of all possible worlds in terms of 
support and development. Use what you find easiest to admin, and what 
has best docs for the next admin. Is there a postfix book?
