Currently I have to accomplish a very simple (for postfix anyhow) goal that
sendmail cannot do (with any speed or ease), but postfix can. It really
only requires that postfix be the agent sending the mail. I have several
different mail servers I have to do this on, and the users on them vary
from a couple of dozen to a couple of thousand. For reasons I can't go
into, I need to do this very very fast. Since all these boxes have some
fairly complex sendmail configs and I don't have time to fully test and
transfer the functions... I want to retain sendmail as the receiving end to
do all the things it currently does when it receives mail, and postfix to
send mail for the one thing I need it to do now.

At any rate, I do plan on moving entirely to postfix... I just can't do it
in the next day or two :-)

thanks,
-A
