I would thouroughly disagree!

"what is a mail wrapper?"

"what does mailer.conf do for me?"

"what is sendmail, exactly?" for that matter

I remember these questions from some time ago - _document_ it for the
clueless or leave it as a working system IMO. I would call a
non-local-delivering OS on install a broken one.

Some of us may hate sendmail - but hey - it works for that simple
purpose!
