I think it would be great with another alternative.  I saw that the
ssmtp package is very small, so that shouldn't be a problem to fit it on
disc1.

I'm not sure if it's a problem that it doesn't support -bd, I actually
don't think so.

If you can provide a patch for sysinstall it is of course even better
:-).  If you have any questions about how to implement it, it's probably
better to do it off list.
