I think one of the biggest mental differences between sendmail/exim and
postfix relates to whether you prefer rigorous definition or scriptable
flexibility. I really love the vicious, table-oriented regularness of
postfix, and don't enjoy the script-y, regex-y looseness of sendmail/exim.
Other admins positively thrive on it, though.

Your postfix looping issues were most likely PEBKAC too... :-) But given
experience with other systems, it's better to just go with what you know.
That's the most important thing for any sysadmin to take away from a
discussion like this: Learn something well and kick butt with it (and be
flexible enough to learn other things when there's good reason to).

itym "hear, hear"... Or are you referring to the previous poster as a dog?
