Well, it appears that the Linux crowd is still incapable of taking
a balanced view of software packages and making an objective
comparison, preferring instead to slam things they haven't used
and themselves admit they don't understand. I guess I'll let this
incipient flamewar terminate now.

This might be something to consider, however, since market share
seems to sway Linux users more than technical merit does: do you
really think sendmail would be routing an estimated 70% of all mail
on the Internet if it were that bad?
