Hmmm...  I couldn't ever get Sendmail to behave in (what I thought was) a
resonable fashion, even after reading the Bat Book.  So my conclusion was...

I use Qmail because I don't want to lose my job and ruin Linux's reputation.
I've found Qmail about a zillion times easier to install, configure, and
maintain.

I am unhappy with Bernstein's redistribution policies for Qmail, which don't
completely prohibit binary distributions but make them completely impractical.
However, building it from source was very easy, and people have made SRPMs.

Cheers,
Eric
