I like this idea even better. Make it so if installed as workstation the
default sendmail is as is now, but if installed as server or everything then
it is open to connect to.
And I agree that if you install sendmail and using it as a server it should
be kept open to connections not closed. Workstation installs dont' need the
whole thing so should be nothing there for them to worry about so then you
keep it closed.
