So if sendmail is a pkg/port, it would still have those features ?
Is a
pkg install sendmail
such a huge step ? And btw, even if sendmail has all those features,
I can tell you that even when I first attend my first sendmail workshop,
approx. 27 years ago, I still would not know how to implement them
with sendmail.

I still don't get the difference if sendmail would be a port/pkg.
Oh, btw, if sendmail can do all this, wouldn't it be useful to
have a suitable config that does all this right out of the box ?
Because, honestly, I would not know how to enable all those features...

But the distribution channel of the software for that service
(base or port) does not sound as the relevant factor for the
end-user, or does it ?
