Old discussion.

Something needs to be there.

Sendmail fits better than most for low/no admin to JFW at getting logs 
off-box and fit licensing parameters.

Those implementing a full-bore MTA for serious use will make 'a' 
selection on the criteria dearest to them, and that has naught to do 
with what is/is not in base anyway.
