I replace sendmail on every OpenBSD installation..
Postfix IMHO is so much easier to configure /troubleshoot..

About 4 years ago, I tried to configure Sendmail and after
3 days I gave up..

Installed Postfix and had it configured in about 10 minutes..

Jiggimi has also stated a very good point..
Setting up a good spam free email server does require time..

All my SMTP (email) OpenBSD gateways run:
- OpenBSD spamd
- SpamAssassin
- Razor2
- DCC
- Amavisd

Example..
The office manager at our parish asked me if the (linux) email server was broken.
I asked.. "Why"... She said.. I am not getting any SPAM...


OpenBSD packages make it very easy to change from Sendmail
to Postfix if you so choose..
