Do you have any idea why the user(a)host.domain community hated on
Sendmail more than other communities?
I lived in the UUCP / BitNet / Arpanet world and while
sendmail was
definitely not the easiest thing to configure, once you got it right it
just kept working (unlike UUCP that seemed to need constant babysitting).

Though simple Sendmail configurations are relatively easy to set up.
