Sorry 'bout the blank David.
Anyway, I'd rather see mail be either completely optional or a choice
given as to what mail is installed. Personally I will NOT run sendmail,
but every time I set up a FreeBSD machine I'm not only stuck with it's
installation, it's enabled by default and there's not even a warning
given. If anon FTP is an option, so should mail - ESPECIALLY sendmail.
Vince.
