Thanks, I get it now.
Have installed my favourite MTA (it was so much easier on openBSD
than other systems I have tried (gentoo/redhat/netBSD) which is
nice). I will set up all important root/postmaster mail accounts etc
to make sure I get the system emails (they are a bonus too).
BTW the openBSD docs are brilliant.

I do have one question though and I apologize if people always ask
this: At
the end of the install I asked whether I want to run sshd and ntpd by
default - very nice BUT why am I not given the option to turn off
Sendmail
at this point? I NEVER use sendmail and for an OS that prides
itself on
being as minimal as possible I would have thought giving you the
option to
not run sendmail would also be there right from the start.
Any system needs a MTA running, at least to manage email from
nightly/weekly/monthly check.
So, default MUST be "mta running" (you can choose to stop it).
Why sendmail? Why not?
p.s.
i usually use another MTA
