But then you have the broken upgrade path issue if you drop _all_ fully featured MTAs from Core. Potentially that is. I think it's more plausible once the installer supports installing from other repos. Which is FC5 I hear. So for FC4 I think one of the current MTAs should be present. I'm not going to dare suggest which one, but one of them should remain :). Then for FC5 we can do what you suggested. josh
