Having used and configured both Send mail and Postfix, sendmail was and
had it's issues. I found it much easier to work with on Open Relays for
example, the draw back with Sendmail and Postfix may be along the lines
of Windows and a Mac, there are bunches of Windows machines in the world
so every little hacker writes viruses for them. There are very few Mac
Viruses...
I'm sure there are more people writing hacks and cracks to break into
sendmail more so than Postfix, so in the scheme of things Postfix may
just be a better choice. Like Mozilla over IE... Thunderbird over
Outlook....
Not a flame, just a thought....

Real simple answer, switch to Postfix and dump sendmail. Then edit

I just don't understand why people still gripe about Sendmail. Yeah,
it was a force to be reckoned with in the early days, but it's stupid
simple to configure these days, and it's pretty much the default in
most *nix distributions. Aside from some folks being intimidated by
the thought of mc files and running m4, it's pretty much *as simple*
to configure as Postfix.
If Postfix works for you, hey great, you're free to run whatever you
want. Telling someone to switch MTAs in the context of "how do I
restore previous functionality in a program I choose to use" is not
very constructive.
Not trying to start a flame war or anything, but just had to say
something.
