I'm not familiar with postfix, but the DS (smart relay) in sendmail
sucks anyway. It will check for MX RR for the host you specified. For
example, my ISP told me I should use msa.hinet.net as my smtp
server. But what the hell is `host -t mx msa.hinet.net`? I finally
would get a "Relaying denied" by msa0.hinet.net. That's quite
disappointing.

Heh, well, I'm not advocating anything. But, if I only need merely a
"Desktop", why should I have giants like sendmail/postfix/exim? They
should be removed anyway. Mail server is the job of my ISP, not my
own.
BTW, nullmailer is also a MTA. It simply pipes your email to another
smtp server.
My 2 cents.
