Just an assumption on my part... but it would seem to be exceptionally 
silly to go to the trouble of installing Exchange to use as _just_ an MTA. 
My point, which you made for me but I didn't, was that it takes more than 
sendmail to provide what Exchange does, and this is ignoring Public 
Folders, NNTP stuff and the like.  Just to provide POP and IMAP requires 
more than sendmail.
