Sendmail in base doesn't come configured to use TLS by default, although
the appropriate capabilities are compiled in to the binaries.

I've no idea why enabling TLS isn't the default -- seems like a
no-brainer in this day and age.  It would require generating a key and
(self-signed) cert on first startup after installation, much like the
way SSH keys are generated, but so long as the problems with startup
entropy availability have been satisfactorily sorted out (which I
believe they have) I can't see any huge problem with that.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
