Generally I tend to agree (and I wish postfix was made into the default MTA
for Debian as it is almost every other Linux distribution -- except I am
not sure whether RedHat kicked the sendmail habit already), but sendmail
has one huge advantage -- they are still so widespread, especially in the
commercial world, that any Linux certification (and I am afraid many jobs
you may be interested in) required pretty good knowledge of sendmail. Which
is the reason, why I have installed sendmail on my notebook (and read
Bat-book!).
Otherwise, in the totally ideal world, where I could choose whatever I want,
it would be probably postfix.
Best,
Matěj
