	Quite true it does not offer SMTP - if you need SMTP then you need
to install something that does now.

	I recall the original development of dma in the DragnflyBSD
project, the aim was never to match sendmail functionality but rather to
provide a default mailer that was extremely simple, reliable and sufficient
for most basic needs.

	There's something odd about that dma is supposed to have support
for /etc/aliases (without running newaliases).
