That's a bit harsh. Truely sendmail was, in its day, the Swiss army
knife of MTAs. If you had two wildly incompatible mail systems then,
with a bit of fiddling, you can could create sendmail rules to
seamlessly translate mail from A to B and back again.

If M. Perkel thinks the exim's configuration options, syntax and
documentation leave something to be desired, then sendmail's equivalent
will come as an "interesting" challenge I'm sure.
