Something else actually - see my reply.

Tried it, didn't like it.  I prefer monolithic programs somehow ... like
Exim or Sendmail.  One thing I can say about postfix is that it is far
better than (ugh) qmail for ease of use and functionality.

That's what sendmail.mc is for.  Once you have a working .mc file,
upgrading sendmail and keeping a consistent sendmail.cf across versions
becomes far easier.
