Hi, Michel.

	By default, FreeBSD's Sendmail that comes in base already delivers mail
to local users and reads the aliases file also. It supports configuring
a smarthost as well. Unless there are some highly desired features in
the DragonFlyBSD mail agent, I seriously doubt there will be any
migration to it from Sendmail in the near future.

Regards,
