greetings.

i think that mail.local is a real mess (there were various exploits for
it).  why not switch to a more decent mail distribution program (procmail
?) as a default for freebsd.  the other thing in question is - should
sendmail be the default mail agent on freebsd ?  there are many substitues
for it which have proven to be more secure (postfix - by Wietse Venema, or
zmailer, qmail, and so on..).   what do the core team think about this ?
