I too try  and stay out of those conversations. I vastly prefer sendmail, its 
security track record the last few years has been great actually.. it had 
somewhat of a bad rep from its earlier incarnations though. Although, blaming 
the software for your (admins) lack of responsibility by not keeping up with 
updates always was a pet peeve of mine anyway.

Yes, it might be that I too am confortable using sendmail simply because of 
years of experience with it.... but I have yet to see a very compelling 
reason to switch to any other MTA, even the performance argument is usually 
skewed, comparing a well tuned exim or qmail machine to a un-tuned sendmail 
one.

We are out here, I think we just tend to be a more reserved bunch.
