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.
