How is that a "feature"? Lack of UUCP is a serious problem for those in a
situation like me, who depend upon it! At my location, it is the only
reasonable mail/news feed available. I am all for including more packages in
Debian. I think it's great there could be more MTAs included with Debian.
But let's be honest about what we're including please.
On a different note, there has been a lot of criticism over Sendmail's
configuration file. I agree that sendmail.cf is a file that I would never
want to edit, but please be aware that Sendmail includes macros that let you
write a short, human-readable configuration that can be converted into a
sendmail.cf file.
