That's the reason why corecode@ and me wrote dma :) > Does that mean we get rid of sendmail someday? I mean, it can always be > installed from pkgsrc. This is the long term goal. If dma(8) is considered stable enough we hook it up to the build as a sendmail replacement. > Next replace named/bind by a caching-only proxy.

Most people don't need a caching-proxy and they're fine without BIND. But the admins who use it (like me) are very happy that a full nameserver is included in the base. > Other examples are ntpd. http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/commits/2008-02/msg00002.html :P Regards Matthias
