Root on your mailserver?  Or root locally?

The local boxes on your network - if all they are doing is running
sendmail for local deliveries and not relaying, it probably isn't
worth the time to convert.  As for your mailservers, I'd always
recommend qmail over sendmail.

Not unless you like modularity, speed, security, and excellent internet support.
:)

BTW, qmail has it's own lists for qmail related discussion, and this would
probably be more suited for them, rather than the FreeBSD lists.
