Why? Once upon a time, many years ago, I tried postfix. I ended up removing it and installing sendmail. I've been using sendmail since the early 1980's, when we were running the Eric Allman code from UCB on a VAX 780 under BCD Unix. And, yes, I recognize this as a religious topic and I'm not trying to start a flame war. Why, in your opinion, is postfix superior to sendmail.
