Yeah?  I've seen benchmarks with postfix spanking sendmail on  
performance, and exim handing it right to postfix.  The guys I've  
talked to who handle _big_ mail heart exim.  Where sendmail really  
shines is when you need to do something none of the others have  
thought about yet - sendmail lets you control everything with .cf.   
If writing a quick policy daemon for postfix was out of the question,  
that is.
