I've seen statements like this before, to me it looks like that all the
people who are blaming about sendmail never made an attempt learning about
it. From my point of view, sendmail is a complex, powerful tool and
therefor it seems very natural that it's configuration is complex too.
In a complex environment and once you know what you have to do, sendmail
does it's job probably better than most of the other mailers. If you don't
know what to do - it's not sendmail's fault !

         Just MHO,
