I understand, thanks for clarifying.

I guess.  I was helping him on #tcbug this morning, and he certainly 
missed something somewhere between the two.  He claimed it "just stopped 
working."  I don't know what all he did, but he was sure going crazy 
trying to fix it.  I helped him get around the problem, but I couldn't 
help but think it would be nice for FreeBSD administrators to have a 
smoother solution.

How about requiring a decision at install time, during the final 
configuration:

[x] sendmail ... (default)
[ ] postfix ...
[ ] exim ...
[ ] qmail ...
[ ] none (caution: desktop users only, insecure use of syslog)
