Dear Michael,
Please don't take it personally but 5 year is a long time, people get used
to things. Experiences are different. All I can say is that when I started
managing a sendmail server I found it so obscure that I when I switched
To qmail I actually made sure I deleted all files related to sendmail.
Then I lived happily ever after. :)
Best regards,
Daniel
