I'm happy with having sendmail (8.9.x or 8.10.x) in pkgsrc. 8.10.x
has IPv6 support by default so it would be real nice. I'll try to
do this.
smtpfeed wants sendmail with specific patch, so this is a bit
separate problem - pkgsrc/mail/smtpfeed needs to build sendmail
anyways (or make it depend to pkgsrc/mail/wide-patched-sendmail).
