Here! Here!  I agree with both sentiments!  Things can "suck" without
there being anyone really to blame.  I also agree that it would be nicer
if folks built system applications that were more modular and less
inter-dependent.

Still and all, I'll bet you could download the Tarball from Sendmail.org
and be up and running in about an hour with the latest and greatest
(though if you were going to put in the time, you might as well take the
plunge and go with Postfix).
