--- Comment #3 from Jamie Landeg-Jones <[email protected]> ---
michael.osipov at siemens.com pointed out on the mailing list that some
applications only talk smtp to send mail:

 > It is not that easy just too look at ports. I give you three examples
 > from work:
 > 
 > 1. Zabbix (network monitoring), suppports only SMTP, although PHP
 > supports sendmail(8)
 > 2. JavaMail Transport implementation exists only for SMTP, I was not
 > able to find any transport implementation for sendmail(8). Maybe I will
 > write one for fun.
 > 3. Python mail package supports SMTP only, no other package available,
 > at least AFAIK.
 > 
 > Unless ecosystems provide impls for sendmail(8) I see it very hard to
 > live without localhost:25 for many cases.
