I disagree. I've installed RH on several several servers and only a
few have needed to receive email. My web, oracle, or network
monitoring machines do not need to receive e-mail. It is better to
just not run services I don't need. A 'send-only' sendmail
configuration is just right for a server that is not gong to be a mail
server (I use postfix on my mail servers anyway). The default
configuration saves me the trouble of recongfiguring sendmail to be
send only anyway.
