Anyone care to give details? In my environment, on 99% of all systems, I've never needed anything but a simple queue-to-smarthost mail sending daemon, with no receive functionality at all. Therefore, I don't care which mail daemon is included, as long as it can do that and supports some type of /etc/aliases file. I'd actually prefer to see a simple ssmtp-like program, but ssmtp doesn't meet those needs (it doesn't queue, doesn't expand local aliases). On the 1 or 2 systems that do need a full mail server, our mail admins roll their own builds/installs of sendmail anyway.
