is there some place i could find the discussion about the choice being 
sendmail?  in particular, i am wondering what the problems are w/ 
distributing qmail.  i am not aware of any difficulties, and i would love to
know what those difficulties might be.  in fact, i'd love to know what kinds
of difficulties are encountered w/ other choices -- such as smail.

it seems to me that these difficulties must be pretty significant if 
sendmail is what was finally decided upon [1], and since i am ignorant of 
these difficulties, i would very much like to know :-)

[1] sorry, couldn't resist as having to upgrade sendmail so frequently 
because of buffer-overflow-related security holes has been a real pain -- 
forgive me for the remark, i really want to know why sendmail is what you can
distribute easily.
