Komal,

Sendmail can do much more than postfix.  The set of things that sendmail 
can do in a directory enabled environment is larger than the set of 
things that postfix can do in a directory enabled environment.

Am I correct about this statement everyone?  I think I am, and would 
like to continue to do so.

Think of Sendmail as "The King", and postfix as "Alexander the Pretty Good".

Unfortunately I do not have an exhaustive list that compares the 
features of senmail && postfix, regardless of their environments.  And 
that I must insist, is ultimately what you are after in preparation for 
your exam.  Good success my friend ...  and helpful imput from others is 
requested :=)
