I think that's the point -- Postfix is smaller, simpler, and easier to
configure.  People who need really esoteric weird features and/or
extreme configurability will usually know what they're doing in the
first place and they should and so long as they do they can easily go
get sendmail or zmailer (or even exim)!

But "basic sendmail" is an oxymoron!  ;-)
