Agreed. One other thing to be aware of - NetBSD 4.0 and later will no
longer ship with sendmail in the base system. postfix, which has been in
the base system for many releases (back to the 1.x [1.5?] days) but was not
the default MTA, has replaced sendmail as the default MTA. Of course,
sendmail will remain available in pkgsrc.

FWIW, the reason to remove sendmail was based on its poor security record.
