No....postfix is over an order of magnitude faster than sendmail
No....Postfix is far more secure and a hell of a lot easier to configure
than sendmail
As an anecdotal note, at the ISP I used to work for we replaced 5 Sparc
Ultra 2 mail servers running sendmail with one very lightly configed
E4500(was a firesale box, and we could not afford to add any hardware to
it, so it was stuck at 2GB of ram and 2 processors) running postfix
Our sendmail guru fought tooth and nail to avoid changing over, until he
started working with postfix and realized just HOW much faster and easier
to configure it really was.
