Thats true. But a look at bugtraq and searching for sendmail comes up with
1178 entries (I know some are not sendmail bugs). My question is whether

     I am being advised to steer clear of sendmail, the reason being that
     its
     too buggy, have the alternatives been proven to be more secure? or is
     it a
     case of the most popular being attacked more often, like windows
