That's two in a flurry of available mailers - not to mention mailer
frontends that wrap themselves around the `real sendmail'.

Since NO_SENDMAIL is there, I'll draw up a proposal for a config based
system and actually write the code so everyone is happy.  <sigh>
(C, not script, for lower overhead of both reading the conf file and
exec()ing the real mailer.)
