The problem is that MTA's typically have to mesh with a lot of other
tools, so you'll see people raving about one vs. the other because of
some almost-unrelated management wrapper or it's ability to do
SMTP AUTH against some oddball password database.  Also, if you are
looking for long experience, sendmail is pretty much the only one that
has been around for what I'd call a long time - but you can't really
compare its capabilities before the milter interface stabilized with
the current version.   A lot of people got things working with qmail
or postfix and haven't looked at the new capabilities of sendmail with
MimeDefang as a milter.
