I've seen this advice many times, and I find it easy to believe that
postfix is better, having run screaming from sendmail config files
in the past, but when I recently went to read up a bit on postfix,
the very first thing I read on the home page is:

If it is sendmail compatible, doesn't that mean it has the same
config file that can be used to frighten little children?

I'd be far more attracted to postfix if the homepage said it was
in no way remotely similar to sendmail :-).
