-
- Several reasons:
-
- - The documentation is woefully inadequate.
-
- - Not everything is configurable. Some processing is
- handled by magic inside the sendmail binary, and is
- not configurable. If I had access to all the
- interesting tokens from sendmail.cf, I'd be much
- happier with sendmail.
-
- Once I finally figured out how to configure it, sendmail
- did everything I wanted it to do (almost; I haven't bothered
- to configure it to rewrite uucp-format return addresses properly).
