Don't get me started on nt - saying it "just works" is a sign of genuine naivete - You could say nt "usually works, except for when it's down". Your sendmail issue with Linux was merely a tunable parameter, while the nt problems go much deeper, and nt often requires regular reboots in order to carry on.
