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

non-local-delivering OS on install a broken one.
Some of us may hate sendmail - but hey - it works for that simple
purpose!
