Please: "my MTA is better than yours" won't get us anywhere. I never
read the bat book and for M4 macros, you don't have to. Thats what I
meant by saying "a lot of problems are things of the past".
As for the general security architecture argument: You missed my
point. I agree 100% that sendmail's architecture is not a good
foundation with regard to security and that, for example, Postfix's is better.
However, you didn't provide a compelling reason why changing the
architecture requires replacing sendmail with something completely
incompatible. Look at the work of the Apache Software Foundation: They
are re-factoring complete applications (Tomcat, Xalan) without
sacrificing compatilibity. Certainly, that road is messier and more
work than starting from scratch, but that does not make it impossible
to go (and a little flexibility when defining 'compatibility' helps a
lot ;-)
