Apart from qmail, I agree.  I don't see any real good reason to
run sendmail (unless you have a ton of VERY, VERY specialized legacy
sendmail rules that are incomprehensible).

My beef against qmail is the lack of standards compliance.  It does
cause issues and probably will at some point prevent you from routing
mail to certain places.  This is just based on my own experience with
my hosting provider (which happens to use qmail).

NTLUG runs exim, I use postfix at sites I help manage.

My two cents,
Chris
