In my environment, on 99% of all systems, I've never needed anything
but a simple queue-to-smarthost mail sending daemon, with no receive
functionality at all. Therefore, I don't care which mail daemon is
included, as long as it can do that and supports some type of
/etc/aliases file. I'd actually prefer to see a simple ssmtp-like
program, but ssmtp doesn't meet those needs (it doesn't queue, doesn't
expand local aliases).
On the 1 or 2 systems that do need a full mail server, our mail admins
roll their own builds/installs of sendmail anyway.
Funny I just wrote the same thing (and I do think they are wrong btw,
but then they did chose sendmail in the first place)
