Probably because of mailer.conf. We've made it easy to switch from=20
sendmail to postfix to any other mailer and back. Using the same group,=20
maildrop, simplifies things.

Why do we need it? Given that we may have multiple mailers (more than just=
=20
postfix and sendmail), it seems like it's better to just have one group=20
name, rather than one per mailer.

Take care,
