Really someone should have the courage to drive the stake in sendmail's heart. Else it'll still rise from its coffin in ten years. Being not entreprise-oriented FC is the place to do so. We've made much more impacting changes in the past. The few people who really need sendmail can install it from extras - but I doubt there will be so many of them (entreprise people will replace the distribution sendmail with the one bundled in their favorite proprietary enterprise bundle anyway). Most users either don't care about advanced features and will be happy with the default config shipped by FC (regardless of the MTA) or will be perfectly able to master postfix or exim syntax. Despite what people think MTA config is not the same in 2005 as it was in the 1990s. After all with the level spam reaches nowadays any admin worth this name should have spend some time learning how to plug new filters in his system. This is usually much more difficult than adapting to the simplicity of postfix/exim config. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
