    You didn't visit http://www.postfix.org/ :)

    Without wishing to start a flame war, if you are just starting out
    with smtp on Unix, I would recommend skipping Sendmail using Postfix
    instead. Having used both (sendmail for years, postfix for months), I
    wouldn't want to go back to Sendmail even if you paid me. Postfix is a
    joy to use. I don't think anyone will say that about sendmail.

    And the configuration files are human-readable.
