If you get answers, could you cc it to me as well. I am in the same
situation and kind of hesitate to leave sendmail behind. A year ago 
or so, Stefan Hornburg was advocating Postfix. I sort of was not up to
learn another package then and just had gotten sendmail basics right, 
so it fell at the sideway.

Thank you kindly.
