We really shouldn't be inflicting sendmail on newcomers as the default MTA. That's a far better candidate for going to Extras, for those who really want it because they've already suffered the brain damage its configuration inflicts. Exim would be a far better default, because it's far easier to configure and far better documented. In FC4 it ships with TLS enabled by default, and SMTP AUTH support present but commented out in the specfile. It also has built-in SpamAssassin support for rejecting spam at SMTP time, which again is enabled by merely uncommenting it in the specfile. I keep meaning to add more features there, like relaying all mail to a smarthost. If we reach a consensus on making the default, I'll make sure it all gets done. -- dwmw2
