As I recall - I set up sendmail on my 2 servers many years ago -
I did nothing beyond changing the SMART_HOST setting in sendmail.mc.
Actually, I now have postfix/amavis/clamd/spamassassin working fine.
But the setup was several orders of magnitude more complicated
than setting up sendmail/procmail/spamassassin .
This is confirmed in my mind by the suggestions I received -
someone specified 2 books on Postfix I should read,
someone else advised me to pay someone to set it up.
Obviously the postfix.org documentation is not directed at those - like me -
trying to set up a simple home-network.
