Sure. Then I have to set it up for every user separately, i suppose.
And for every e-mail program someone wants to use. And some of the
programs may end-up blocking because they cannot send the mail
immediately. I dont see what is the point. As long as the sendmail does
not run as demon, you do not get any sendmail-related security problems,
either. Of coarse, you could use just about anything instead of sendmail,
since it really does not do much in this configuration - just processes
the mailq from time to time...
