As someone who is a Sendmail fan, I can agree as well. Exim is an excellent
choice when you do not wish to use Sendmail. Personally i _hate_ postfix and I
do not understand why it has become to be so popular. But that is a personal
preference. The Versions of Sendmail starting from 8.12.8 up are pretty clean
and rather secure. Of course there are always tiny issues found since the
codebase is simply huge. Sendmail X seems to show that there will be a
paradigm change, as it will be more modular and m4 as configuration language
will probably die.
