I second that .. Sendmail has turned into an unnecesary behemont for a local 
MTA .. dma is a lot smaller, simpler, easier to maintain, a lot less bug 
prone, way easier to configure and all in all, just what I need if my MTA 
only job will be delivering local mail ... Sendmail feels like having a 
HUMMER only to take my kids to school and then get back to my home .. which 
is only two blocks away ... :s

It would be really nice if I could choose whether I want Sendmail, Postfix or 
dma upon installation time (sysinstall) ...
