What's wrong? Why does this not work out of the box ??
Given the security history of sendmail, it's not prudent to enable
sendmail by default.
It's not just that, but people who don't understand how mail transport
works, shouldn't be running mail servers.
I expect to deal with sendmail for as long as I administer Unix
boxes, but alternatives like Postfix in particular would be my
preference from a number of standpoints.
I'm in the same position. I starting running alternatives to sendmail
in the late 90s on systems that I knew I was always going to maintain,
but for systems that would be passed to others to maintain, I stuck
with installing sendmail because there was much more expertise. Now a-
days, I'm happy to set up Postfix on such systems (but will still use
exim for myself).
