That said, yes I do really think that we should remove sendmail from base, if I remember correctly the discussion each time we talked about it the conclusion was we only need something able to relay mail to another mails server and be able to locally deliver mails, that is exactly the definition of dma. to be honnest dma needs a bit of work on how it handle its retry queue, but that might not be long to improve. regards, Bapt
