Whilst bowing in due deference to people who've been using *nix/Linux since it required a piece of string, two tin cans & coven in order to achieve results, I was under the impression that nowadays, unless you actually need some functionality that sendmail has & nothing else possesses, the received wisdom for novices when setting up all things mail was using postfix in its place.

That would be uucp (equivalent to string), a Telebit Trailblazer modem (= can), and a severely modified version of a UCB sendmail config file to make sure that non-local traffic ended up at a host running 'pathalias' [1], to prevent it from making a major detour (= dark magic).
