I think each one of us who've replaced sendmail with something else has
(despite years of RH/Fedora trying force sendmail through our throats).

Even back when postfix was just a powertools option people knew sendmail
was a poor default.

As an engineer who likes neat technical stuff and contributes to Fedora
because it tends to produce neat technical stuff it makes me cringe each
time I'm reminded we ship sendmail instead of something properly
designed for an untrusted TCP/IP network world.

You may extend years of hole-fixing and patch a sieve enough it sort of
floats but it's still a poor excuse of a boat. Even if passengers only
see the "it floats" bit.
