Hi,

Most distributions install sendmail by default. But many people use 
qmail or postfix.

Both, qmail and postfix, are supposed to be more secure and easier 
to configure that sendmail.

I sugest you take your time to evaluate each of these and decide 
which one is best for your needs. There're many Howto's on the subject 
out there. Again, take your time and do some reading before doing 
anything...

not necessarily true w/ sendmail 8.12.0 anymore

This isn't directed at Federico or anyone in particular, but..

Sendmail gets blamed for a lot of mistakes that ADMINs make. 
Please evaluate all the products with an open mind and realize that no matter 
what you choose, you can make any of them insecure. Conversely, you can also 
make any of them secure. I have yet to have any of my machines exploited 
through sendmail. Go ahead and try. If anyone can, I'd like to know
