This will never happen in RELENG_4 (either with perl or sendmail). Removing sendmail is not likely to happen in -current either, since sending mail is an essential part of a unix system, whereas perl is not (in most cases). Every time this discussion comes up in the past people mention how nice it would be if you could do things like choose your mailer at install time. Everyone agrees that this is a good idea, but no one has come up with the code yet. Hope this helps, Doug -- "We have known freedom's price. We have shown freedom's power.
