Yes.  I'm not aware of a single reason to recommend it, even if it were
fixed.

Yes. If nobody's fixed it by now, it's unlikely anyone will.

I've really thought about just removing the Sendmail.py delivery
module for MM2.1.  It just has so many problems, and either nobody
reads the docs or the docs are just poorly written or visible.

As it is, I put a nice fat "assert 0" in the code so Sendmail.py is
now completely inoperable unless you hack the code.  I'm reluctant to
remove it because I was hoping someday someone would really fix it,
but I think I might have to give up on that.

So, should Sendmail.py just go away?
