        i have not migrated our anti-spam measures to VMailer yet.
        therefore we are using VMailer for outbound only.
        once all outbound lists are VMailer, we *may* turn sendmail
        off.
        
        please read the web pages concerning the qmail vs VMailer issue.
        Wietse addresses it better than i can.
