| Anyway, Postfix and Exim are reasonable Sendmail-alternatives as well.
They are -not- reasonable for -all- cases. I have seen Postfix's
parallelization totally cripple my network at work. As far as we could
figure, Postfix did not ratchet down fast enough and the end result was a
crashed firewall MTA and an unknown quantity of lost mail. We reset
everything and Postfix did it again. I have little doubt that qmail would
achieve the same results, only faster.
Before you say anything like, "but, you can configure foo to do bar," no,
we cannot. No matter what tweaking we might do there is always the slim
possibility that Postfix will do that again. The only way we can guarantee
that it will not happen is not to use Postfix at all. sendmail works.
That made our choice of MTA a no-brainer.
