I second that .. Sendmail has turned into an unnecesary behemont for a local MTA .. dma is a lot smaller, simpler, easier to maintain, a lot less bug prone, way easier to configure and all in all, just what I need if my MTA only job will be delivering local mail ... Sendmail feels like having a HUMMER only to take my kids to school and then get back to my home .. which is only two blocks away ... :s It would be really nice if I could choose whether I want Sendmail, Postfix or dma upon installation time (sysinstall) ...
