It does not matter how many subscribers on this list are still using Sendmail.
I too am one of the people who does -sendmail +postfix in my kickstart configs
but remember Red Hat has to support RHEL and I will be the majority of RHEL
customers migrating from things like slowaris expect sendmail. A lot of these
people are old farts that have been around for a hundred years and do not
like to change things they are comfortable with. Like it or not we are most
likely stuck with sendmail forever.
