Why sendmail?

Indeed.  While I do sometimes question the sense of defaulting to 
sendmail due to its baggage, it's so trivial to change the MTA that it's 
largely a non-issue.  In the interest of being close to a "reference 
implementation" of BSD it does make some sense as a default even if I'd 
never run it on a prod box myself.  It hardly seems worth the churn.

Insert $0.02 here.

cheers,
Gabriel
