Yes, sendmail.cf is well-documented and logical, but (at least for modern times) it's too terse and low-level.

It's more procedural than declarative, which is why you need a programmer to change it.

There's really no excuse for its alphabet soup of mailer flags.

And yet I'll happily take sendmail.cf over sendmail.mc.
