Of course, what really matters is that you choose a solution that meets your specific needs. From what I've read over the past several years, it really boils down to personal preference rather than any great difference in functionality.
Yeah, in my case of 20+ years in UNIX admin and development, I've become comfortable with administering sendmail-based systems, and postfix is the devil not known :)
Up to now I've been of the attitude of "sendmail's not broken, I've got better things to do than fix it". However, I was reading on ADSP for DKIM (RFC 5617) and in http://www.opendkim.org/README there is a discussion of issues surrounding sendmail's handling of DSNs. But then, it looks like ADSP may be contraversial anyway.
Thus the stream of consciousness ...
