haha. well, i guess having had to immediately upgrade more than a dozen 
boxes running sendmail whenever a remote exploit was found kind of made 
me rather unwilling to deal with it anymore after the peace and quiet I 
get from running postfix. Also, not having to decipher them sendmail 
rulesets and create new ones were a relief. Then there was the 
instability of milter to contend with...

I guess that is all long past now is it?
