TMDA currently supports the most widely used opensource/unix MTAs
other than Sendmail (qmail, Postfix, and Exim).  There is a chance
that Sendmail will be supported in the future, but it will really be
some sort of hack.  Sendmail makes things very difficult for me.

TMDA (which is invoked from .forward/.qmail) needs full access to the
message envelope to operate (envelope recipient address, envelope
sender address, etc.).  Believe it or not, Sendmail has thrown away
the entire envelope by the time it reaches .forward.

The requirements for e-mail applications today are different than they
were a decade ago, but Sendmail has made little effort to keep up.  In
my book, Sendmail wins the "pioneer" award for being the first to
market, but that is no reason to continue using it today when there
are several *superior* alternatives available.
