I agree - make sendmail an option.
If you choose mail server from the server options, sendmail should
probably be the default - there are a lot of third party milters etc.
that really do need sendmail. But unless you are really running a _real_
mail server - postfix in a chroot jail is a better choice for a default
MTA.

You do need an MTA for things like cron - but if all you have is a small
yard, you don't need the John Deere Tractor.

btw - speaking of cron, what about fcron instead of cron? ;)
