That is not the initial goal, the initial goal is to be able do relay mail or
deliver them locally without anything listening on port 25, with something easy
to configure and with a very low footprint.

That said, yes I do really think that we should remove sendmail from base, if I
remember correctly the discussion each time we talked about it the conclusion
was we only need something able to relay mail to another mails server and be
able to locally deliver mails, that is exactly the definition of dma.

to be honnest dma needs a bit of work on how it handle its retry queue, but that
might not be long to improve.
