they haven't started shouting yet, but i sense it's coming.

i just swapped postfix in for sendmail on a mail server.
are there any metrics i can get to show why postfix is better?
they seem to be all up in arms about memory usage.
but doing this
ps -eo pid,vsz,rss,pmem,time,comm | grep sendmail
vs. this
ps -eo uid,pid,vsz,rss,pmem,time,comm | grep 33508

doesn't show much diff in rss.  postfix is more secure,
so i read on the web, but that's intangible.

i don't think i need to be exhaustive.  but right now
i don't have anything i can use to win this argument,
objectively, anyway.
