Q:

Is sendmail still used and, if so, for what?

Inspired by What kind of mail server do you use?
I'm curious to know how much sendmail is still used anymore.  What practical application does it still have?
Anyone?

A:

Painful configuration process aside, it's still a perfectly serviceable mail exchanger, and arguably more flexible and configurable than many alternatives. (Just TRY configuring qmail to play tic-tac-toe :D) I've worked on a number of sites that run Sendmail quite happily within the past few years.

A:

For me, it gets replaced with postfix ASAP.

A:

Legacy applications. Just because a CGI web application was built 7 years ago doesn't mean that it needs to be replaced, and if it replies on sendmail, then so be it!
