Hi Jerry,

You can achieve some kind of dynamic rules by using "lookup tables" or
the pipe(8) daemon in Postfix. However, Sendmail has many more
predefined macros, which can be used in rule sets for handle dynamic
routing, headers-rewrites, queues, milters, MDA's, etc, for example.
That's what I meant when said "limitations and exotic features". Not
saying that Postfix is "bate quebrado" ;-)

Without being a fan, I rise the flag for Postfix; I just know the
power of Sendmail too.

Best regards
