Bret,
Approximately 65% of email sent usually touches a variant of SendMail
while it is transversing the Internet. Not bad for an application that
was someone's graduate school project.
SendMail Commercial is very good.. :)

"just say no". while I am not a fan of sendmail, while qmail is
certainly a good MTA, there is no complete and rigourous proof that
would make it necessary for everybody to just replace sendmail with
qmail.
Sendmail is still widely used, and not only by stupid people.
Also, the FWTK's smap and smapd have been and are still used with
sendmail, even on the Gauntlet, and nobody seems to say that this
is stupid.
