At the risk of someone else answering this before I have read through
the remaining 150 posts ;-)

Webmin edits sendmail.mc and obvious makes the sendmail.cf from that

I would agree with the concept of 'if you don't know what you need to
set' limitations of webmin - that is still the case - at least when it
comes to sendmail.mc file. It does have some other very handy purposes
such as getting at things like virtuser/alias/access tables and things
like local-host-names.

When Sendmail.com first sold Sendmail Switch, I purchased a copy and it
seemed a bit oversimplified itself but it did handle certs fairly
nicely.

The reality is, sendmail isn't that difficult to understand whether you
use Sendmail Switch or not, whether you use webmin or not, no matter
what, you still have to learn something about what is going on with an
MTA.
