I was replying snarkily about the competence of most Exchange admins, not really about the original post. To be sure: There are probably many very competent Exchange admins and I bet you're one of them. The problem is that Exchange is *so* popular that there are way more incompetent Exchange admins than competent ones. If you pick a random Exchange admin from the whole population, you're more likely to end up with an incompetent one than if you try the same thing with Sendmail admins, for the simple reasons that Sendmail is less popular than Exchange and it requires a certain level of competence (masochism?) to get *anywhere* :) Microsoft markets its products as easy to use and to set up. That's probably true on a superficial level so you end up with thousands of admins with only superficial knowledge.
