	And I find that procmail is not pwerful enough for my mail
 filtering needs, and I choose mailagent. I think that deliver has
 worked flawlessly for me for many moons, and I do not want procmail
 on my system.

	But these are just opinions.

	They will vary.

	What we need are options.

	We should have both, and let sendmail depend on a virtual
 package, and people may make their own choices.
