Actually, as of RHEL6, the default MTA is now Postfix.
Sendmail does indeed have a rather lengthy history of vulnerabilities.
With that being said, in my opinion, Postfix is also a much more
flexible MTA.

I don't understand why many people calling sendmail insecure.
Sendmail is the default MTA in RHEL, Solaris, AIX, FreeBSD, OpenBSD ...
Why should they use an insecure MTA?
Sendmail is a very robust and reliable MTA.
