I use sendmail at home. I'm not sure what folk mean by "resource-hog" in 
this context - it's never drawn attention to itself unlike some other 
software I use.

If you have no shortage of resources, there are better things to worry 
about.

If you are short of resources, be sure sendmail's using a significant 
proportion of them before bothering with it. More likely it's something 
else.
