I saw DMA mentioned recently at the DfBSD Digest, and it just so
happened that there was a recent discussion in fedora-devel about
removing sendmail from the base install. An overriding concern was
that it would break reporting by tools like cron, even though most
desktop users will not see the reports anyway; but it looks like DMA
would fit the bill perfectly as a local-delivery MTA.
That sounds great.  dma will actually also deliver to remote servers 
(including TLS + LOGIN and MD5 authentication).

I have question about the build process, though. I've patched some
files to take care of BSD-isms -- having to define __DECONST in dma.h
and removing the reference to st.st_mtimespec in dma.c -- but I'm
stuck building.
I'm using bmake, and get the following:
I think the best would be if you'd write a generic non-BSD makefile.  It 
is a simple enough build process.
