Personally, I think it's painfully obvious that the vast amount of sendmail
admins in the world are *not* sendmail literate, and also not security
conscious. They have simply used the default mailer that came with their
Unix systems.

Improvements in the ease of configuration *and* security, which Postfix
appears to offer, can only be a good thing.
