For a contrary opinion, while sendmail.cf is difficult to follow, I've never found sendmail.mc too difficult.
However, I'm finding postfix very difficult to configure with spamassassin. Postfix/dovecot works well enough, but the recommended addition of amavisd-new with clamav and spamassassin seems extraordinarily complicated and spaghetti-like, and I haven't found any documentation in *.centos.org that describes the specific spamassassin side of the setup. [The alternative sendmail/procmail/spamassassin combination I run on another server seems much easier to follow.]
Everything on my server appears to be running as it should, but I don't think any spam is being caught. Eg I have set ok_languages en it fr de ga in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf (and re-started spamassassin) but I am still inundated with chinese spam.
If anyone knows of any documentation on the recommended CentOS setup of postfix/dovecot with amavis, clamav and spamassassin I should be grateful for a pointer.
I've had good success installing spamass-milter-postfix from the EPEL repository, and then adding:
smtpd_milters = unix:/var/run/spamass-milter/postfix/sock
to /etc/postfix/main.cf, as instructed in /usr/share/doc/spamass-milter-postfix-0.3.2/README.Postfix
I don't have any amavis stuff configured.
