I am led to believe that Sendmail is still around in the install image 
as well as the base install because some need a way to send out mails 
without having to install a package/port. Can't the same be achieved 
with "msmtp" which is lighter and easier to configure for simple tasks 
than Sendmail. Hope FreeBSD isn't hanging on to Sendmail due to some 
political issue like being the baby of one of the lead developers / 
founders!
