Alternatively the Blastwave sendmail is compiled with SMTP AUTH enabled,
and will pull down any dependencies with it. The only (small) problem
occurs if you try to install it on a system with read-only /usr, e.g. a
sparse Zone, as it tries to create symlinks in /usr/bin; however you can
get round this by setting your $PATH appropriately.
