And replaced with what? Can you imagine the flaming wars such a hint will cause? I'd rather (despite all I said about it) leave it in, in a functional state. It does what it claims, well enough to install any FreeBSD system and get it going. Once I have a free day (not devoted to family or sleep :-), I'll make a port of qmail. I also hear good things about a thing called VMail or some such. Anyone who cannot wait for sendmail to be gone can use the rm(1) command.
