I'm glad sendmail is supported in suse. However, when it comes to ease of MTA config in suse, I think postfix has sendmail beat. For instance, you can go into yast and click one button to enable virus/spam scanning - is that also the case when using sendmail, or does a sendmail install require some googling and config file tweaking to achieve the same effect?
