Although some clarification of some bits might help, it should be possible to
get a complete sendmail replacement up and running (once you've built it)
with virtually no effort. Extras like majordomo are covered by people's
discussion in this list.
However, because its so much easier to get Exim running and make it spam
proof, its probably not such a bad thing to make it accessible to the total
novice who would probably make a gaping security hole and spammers paradise
if left to survive with sendmail alone.
Thus I disagree to some extent with the above statement, unless by beginner
it meant not just a beginner to sys admin but total newbie to the internet
and email or smtp + tcp/ip
