That blemished past is pretty far in the past. The number of security
holes per year has dramatically decreased in recent years. Note that it
used to be measured in holes/week, but take a look at
www.sendmail.org
and you'll see that the last hole was over a year ago. So it's a matter
of preference, really. But I'm hoping this doesn't turn into an all-out
'my-MTA-is-better-than-yours' religious war. Please let's endeavor to
not let that happen.
Even if the sendmail codebase finaly reached the quality of its
competitors that's no reason to inflict sendmail conf files on users.
