Sysadmins may differ in what they consider worth their time. Some may
not have the time to build all their software, but reserve this for
things they consider important. To some, the MTA may not be important.
Now, they are stuck with sendmail and you have to use your time to
clean up after them when they relay spam, etc.

Heck - some redhat/linux machines don't even _have_ sysadmins. Your
life will be better when they run qmail ;-)
