It's plenty free enough for practical purposes; and most of the
"unfreeness" is just Dan being fugg-headed about not telling people
things he thinks are inherently true.

Postfix isn't bad, but it's not nearly as well segmented and much
larger, which means that in the absence of other information it's
probably considerably less secure.  

Sendmail is a career in itself, not something I'd suggest anybody
approach casually.
