	sendmail is unrivalled in configurability.  No other MTA
supports the range of mail transfer protocols and customizable (sp)
that sendmail supports.  The cost of this flexibility is a somewhat
more complicated configuration mechanism.....this is not surprisinbg
;)

	sendmail has the largest carde of trained administrators.  the
sendmail oreilly book is excellent.  i am sure that sendmail will
continue to improve.

	you cant go wrong using sendmail.  it may not be the absolute
best tool for every job.  Sendmail is a very good MTA for nearly every
job.
