Probably just hear-say. There's so much bad-mouthing sendmail! Most of
it by people who got lost in sendmail's many configuration options, but
instead of reading some docs they drop it, telling everybody they should
avoid sendmail at all cost.

Too bad, 'cause to me and many others sendmail is one of the most 
reliable and compliant MTA's in existance today. And there hasn't been
a major security problem in years.

just .02 euro.
