I disagree because:

1.) NetBSD should include a least basic mail functionallity in the base
    system.

2.) There is no way to install "pkgsrc" packages during basic NetBSD
    installation.

3.) A NetBSD binary release includes a mail transport agent for all
    architectures. The "pkgsrc" coverage is much worse because it
    lacks cross building support.

This proposal is actually the completely wrong solution. We need system
packages so that you can decide to install a NetBSD with the integrated
Postfix and Sendmail. People who use CUPS can deselect the printing
system and people who don't need UUCP can deselect that, too.

	Kind regards
