Re: FWTK and smap/smapd

The real problem with something like smap/smapd is that it uses Sendmail at all. Remember Sendmail (postfix, et al) supports IT ALL. On an e-mail gateway to the Internet, we don't (shouldn't) need that. We can make some assumptions, which simplify things considerably. And if we don't mind passing outbound e-mail to our ISP, things get even simpler. There's just no money in it. And of course given a choice of "secure-er" or faster we take faster.
