Neither?  I really like the fact that the NetBSD base distribution is very
lean - one of the reasons I choose to use it instead of something like
RedHat Linux.  Why should I have to download and build two (or more?) MTAs
when I will use neither of them?  I don't want to see the base
distribution grow to include every piece of suitably licensed open source
software available.  Please - let people choose their own MTA, get the
source and compile, or grab a package.  Including one MTA in the
distribution makes sense to some, or not including an MTA at all would
make sense too.

Including both sendmail and postfix is just plain silly, IMHO.
