Isn't this basically just adding bloat to 'system'? This only really |
| 2 |
seems to be relevant when you want multiple MTA's installed at once, |
| 3 |
with the ability to choose between them, since most MTA's already |
| 4 |
provide /usr/sbin/sendmail if they have a sendmail compatibility wrapper |
| 5 |
at all. |

Since most users don't need or have multiple MTA's installed at once, |
| 8 |
what is the rational of adding this to 'system'? |
