After trying to think of reasons to use sendmail, I beganto wonder if
it still supports bang-routing and UUCP as a transport mechanism. A
bit of googling seems to indicate that it does.

So there's one thing (that I do understand) that can be done with
sendmail that can't (AFAICT) be done with the usual replacements.
