It is absurdly MTA specific. There's really not much choice about that
-- TMDA really needs to get into the mail system at a level just above
acceptance and just below delivery, and that level is quite MTA
specific. Achieving the same ends under Postfix requires bleeding edge
features of Postfix (we;ll, bleeding edge when I did the HOW-TO, I've
not checked since then) and resorting to sub-domains and other gross
perturbations of a mail system. I've not looked at what would be needed
for Sendmail. Jason M of TMDA fame at one point said he'd write a QMail
based HOW-TO, but I haven't noticed that go by yet.

There's a FAQ entry:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.007.htp
It needs updating for Exim4 and newer revs of TMDA, but I'm a mite short
of time for that.
