It is available.  Fire up one of the installers, turn off what you
don't want, turn on what you do, then let 'er rip.  You may need to be
in something like "Custom Install Mode" or something to get this, but
that's just to save newbie butts.  You can do what you want to.

Very true, but it is your box.  I imagine the sendmail package
maintainer needs love just like the others.  :-)  Then again, maybe
not.  He may just be doing it so he doesn't have to run exim or
postfix; I don't know.
