Ik also find the "Postfix is more secure. Sendmail is big ball with big
holes (at least in the past)." very lame.
Please give good arguments before takin' a crack on a outstanding
mailserver like Sendmail.
I do not say Postfix is worse..I think they have both pros and cons but
I am not going to tell that Sendmail is bad and not give any good
argument why it is such a bad decision.
If I had to choose it is Sendmail for it's simplicity and it's
virtusertable function which is not 100% implemented in Postfix (imho).
