On the other hand, if you do 'normal' things with sendmail, all you
have to do is tweak a few values in the provided sendmail.mc and
restart to rebuild the configs, and if you do anything unusual you can
drop in MimeDefang as a milter and gain complete control of all of the
internal steps in a small snippet of perl. Personally, I think the
introduction of the milter interface years ago fixed all of the old
issues with sendmail. I think postfix can use MimeDefang these days
too, but it took it much longer to make it usable.
