Cy,

	I and others feel the same about the MTA issue. However the last
time I brought this up 2 valid points were raised that should not be over
looked. 1. No one has written the code into sysinstall to allow for
slecting an MTA. 2. We have an actuall maintainer of sendmail FROM the
vendor. Greg from sendmail actually maintains our sendmail. If dan or
wietse would do the same that would be one less argument people have for
ripping out sendmail. However I know for a fact weitse does *not* have the
time to do this. So both points are still valid. I love postfix and would
love to see it as an option in sysinstall but until those 2 points above
are checked off the list I don't see it happening.
