It does away with symlinks by inventing its own pointless file-based
symlink format. It then needs an extra program to interpret that file.
That program is, as it turns out, unreliable at high loads. If the
kernel is low on file descriptors at the wrong moment then the program
runs sendmail! What a disaster. Metzger should be ashamed of himself.
See http://cr.yp.to/etc-mta.html for a simpler, faster, _correct_
configuration mechanism that doesn't try to reinvent the filesystem.
Please encourage your OS vendor to support /etc/mta, not mailer.conf.
