Because smtpd was made the default years ago and the fact that
mailwrapper(8) will invoke smtpd(8) if its configuration file
(/etc/mailer.conf) is missing, perhaps /etc/mailer.conf can be moved to
/etc/examples?
Should it be removed from /etc/changelist?
The "optional" keyword should be added for it in /etc/mtree/special:

The BUGS section for mailwrapper/mailer.conf states that the existence
of such a system is a "crock". I think we should sweep it into the
closet and slam the door.
