34 <PRE>I'm not an expert in mail transport, but don't many applications use
35 sendmail because it's easy and RFC compliant? It's seems to me that every
36 app/script I have ever seen that has any form of mail option uses sendmail
37 or has an SMTP server option. Especially since sendmail is a SMTP server.
39 I personally would not like to see services act as an SMTP server in any
40 since of the word. The use of Sendmail is very common place, and for those
41 that do not or can not use sendmail to have an SMTP server option plus the
42 option to NOT use the mail and use the GETPASS command, should be defined in
43 the conf or an ifdef in ./configure.
