If all you are doing is using sendmail for a local MTA and nothing real
serious like a server or a heavily used enviornment of some kind i can
see wanting to switch to postfix. I would just stick to sendmail as
there doesn't seem to be any real reason to use anything else.
There really wouldn't be a security issue as its access is resricted to
localhost be default.
My 3 cents.
