Woah! Hold the phone! I never said sendmail was a replacement for Exchange!
They are two completely different things.

Ah, but with sendmail all you would probably need to do is restore the
configuration files and re-run the M4 config. No hunting through reams and
reams of different GUI screens and digging about in the registry. A doddle!
Of course it is VERY difficult for non root users to get anywhere near
sensitive configuration data so the need to call anyone about a screwed up
sendmail is far less likely unless you screw it up yourself of course:-)

I totally agree with you.
