Given the native support in postfix for delivering local email without 
becoming a mail server, it would seem to be ideal for the purposes 
after the recent mess with sendmail.  And so I suggest in install/21998.

Yet, I've just found
  http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/etc/mailer.conf

Revision 1.7 / Thu Mar 20 23:09:56 2003 UTC (3 months, 1 week ago) by mrg 

back out revision 1.5: put back the "default to sendmail" lines.  once again
netbsd ships with a working mailer out of the box.  (be nice if it *wasn't*
sendmail, but until there is a working in-tree replacement that requires no
further configuration, ie, "just works", sendmail is all we have to choose
from.)

approved by: core

So, there still wasn't a "working mailer out of the box"! 

What are the problems with postfix in the tree?  I don't see a lot of 
problem reports, and many of the public and private comments I've seen 
indicate that many folks are running postfix.
