Any system of any worth for intruders is likely to run ssh. And sendmail is still the most popular MTA (which mystifies me no end).

Sendmail is most popular because a) that is what the distributions ship, b) it has been around the longest, and c) it is more flexible than anything else you can imagine. As a rule-based progamming language in its own right, Sendmail can be distorted into all kinds of bizarre uses, with the result that it is unfortunately very difficult to get rid of. Now please excuse me while I go patch my mailserver.
