Don't get rid of sendmail unless you've got something to replace it.
Last I looked, postfix cannot replace sendmail on my servers, although
it is a lot better than qmail (gag!).
What is the bias against sendmail? Don't give me security history; how
many security holes have there been in OpenSSL, OpenSSH, Apache, the
Linux kernel, rsync, etc. over the last couple of years? Now, how many
in sendmail? I don't see people ranting to replace OpenSSH because they
recently had several security releases in less than a week.
Sendmail still happens to be one of the more powerful MTAs around.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
