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.
