> Want to send UUCP mail? x400 mail? Need other non-SMTP mail support? No, because it's 2014 and most people will never, ever use these? Too bad, the code's installed and running waiting for more exploits. Agreed. Fork that into something else if people still need it. > Want to configure it, in 'human readable plain text' too bad, here's a macro language which no other daemon uses. Here I disagree. Not that the language isn't bad (though I do still use home-grown m4 in some old Apache configs), but the overall configuration of Sendmail is roughly equivalent to Postfix, Exim, or any other fully featured SMTP server: 1. look at the online manual, reading the descriptions of every single individual config option. 2. copy and paste as appropriate. Having set up all three of those, I can say that getting a correctly functioning Postfix or Exim takes just as long as getting a correctly functioning Sendmail. All of them have a lot of arcane options.
