Well, after running sendmail for around 15 years, I can't see using
anything else.  Tried Postfix once.  After 3 days I gave up trying to
get it to run more than the primary domain (easily done w/
virtuser/generics in sendmail - one server of mine has over 30 e-mail
domains on it).  And now with milter, I won't change (unless the others
come out with a milter-like facility).  I run spamassassin,
milter-sender, and more via milter.   Takes a _lot_ less resources than
running via procmail and there's stuff you just can't do with procmail
you can with milter, like reject a mail back before it's been accepted. 
Procmail can't do that because before procmail gets a mail it has to
have been accepted by sendmail.  Milter works _during_ the delivery
phase before closing the connection with the sending host.

Ciao,
