Absolutely. The O'Reilly 'Sendmail' book is 1205+ pages. The 'Book of
Postfix' is only 464 pages. Plus, you can actually set up SASL and
SSL/TLS in Postfix after reading it. Setting up SASL and SSL/TLS etc. in
Sendmail can be a chore. The users of Sendmail have been decreasing
while the users of alternative MTA's like Postfix, have been on the
rise. Then again, there is Qmail, which is not even officially
supported but still available for the adventurous.
