Sendmail has been fixed since then... But, 2 pieces of advice:
first consider the supported life of fedora compared to other
distros like RHEL or Centos before building a service that you
expect to run for a long time on it. Second, for a mail server
you really want a spam/virus filter that can reject during the
smtp conversation so you don't have to return bounce notifications.
One way to do that is to use sendmail with MimeDefang running
as a milter: http://www.mimedefang.org
