Hey,
Why is Sendmail included in a FreeBSD base installation? Average hosts handling mail routing seems to be uncommon. Are the majority of FreeBSD installations in the wild handling mail?
I am not throwing stones, I am not saying it's a bad idea, I just want to understand. Why sendmail and not say... Perl or Unzip or Bash?
Apologies if this discussion has taken place many times before.
