Right.  "Standard" if you have BSD.  What about all the poor suckers out
there that have System V (like me)?  We end up with a broken mailer that
taunts us with wonderful promises but fails to deliver (pun intended).
Why can't Rand/UCI/someone make MH run without depending on sendmail (on
top of smail, for example)?  Trying to run on a SysV box without sendmail
is pure hell.  If anything else came close, I would switch immediately
but I'm spoiled by the parts that do work.
