I was not speaking of replacing sendmail in the base system, only on
offering this mail agent in the *ports*, this is why i posted in
freebsd-ports. I should have been clearer.

This mail agent doesn't offer anything compelling compared to sendmail,
only it is much smaller and presumably more secure. For example if you
want a mail agent in a jail, you can envision to use this one instead of 
sendmail because it is much lighter. Yes i know ssmtpd could do the
same, more or less but this one has a little more flexibility without
falling in the complexity of the big ones.
