Listen guys!
Please don't waste (any more) bandwidth on the replacement of sendmail.
At this time, there is no plans nor signs or hints that such a
replacement will happen.
If you don't like sendmail, grab the right port/package and be done
with it.
If you really want it to happen, you will have to do it. Here's how:
1. Compartementalize sendmail in it's own "dist" in src/release/Makefile.
2. Make a similar dist out of your favourite mailer (Ie, src/contrib and
the works, including the necessary Makefile magic so it all works
according to the principle of least astonishment.) Make sure to clear
the copyright issue with the authors &c &c.
3. Build your own releases and test it out.
4. Argue that since we get it for free, we might as well take it now :-)
