Just to clear up some mis-conceptions about Sendmail, 1) virtual tables under Sendmail are easy to setup. Just as easy as Postfix. 2) You *can* edit sendmail.cf (Sendmail's main config file) directly. In fact the comments inside the file are quite helpful. You do not need to use M4 for changes to Sendmail - some folks just like that better. > > What you are trying to do can be done in postfix in about a minute, by > creating one file, adding a line or two to the main.cf file and running > postfix reload.

In my experience, Sendmail only has two failings: it does reverse aliasing poorly for virtual hosts, and it is not an optimized MTA. Still Sendmail works and works well.
