Yeah, I do the same with dig, ssh & scp etc.  But, not with sendmail,
that bit's been done neatly... I guess as MTA's are such regularly
changed beasts it makes sense to have mailer.conf (similar idea I guess
to the alternatives symlink mess in loonucks).

Having /usr/pkg/bin in my path fixes a lot of these minor overloading
issues though, but not scp!
