sendmail was genuinely terrible: monolithic, unused, uninstallable attack vectors everywhere (echoes of openssl), near-binary configuration which required learning a complex macro language. Even Sendmail X bears more resemblance to Postfix than it does to Sendmail 9.

Replying to myself: s/uninstallable/unremovable/. Though everyone seems to have got what I meant.

It is also a SMTP proxy, so you can put nginx in front of your postfix servers.
