Is Sendmail really that bad? I do sendmail admin as part of my existing
job, and exclusively for my new one (start on Monday).

I know sendmail is a git to get started with, and has a nasty learning
curve, but is it only me that likes it?

<sad admission>
Does anyone else enjoy getting sendmail running and tweaked up the way
I do?
</sad admission>

In fact, the only bit I don't like is updating the m4's with my custom
rules (m4 preprocessor seems to be very fussy over delimiters)

FWIW, my servers are relaying about 80,000 emails per server per day.

I have only server running postfix and I really don't like to go anywhere
near it...
