Wouldn't have symlinks from /usr/sbin/sendmail to /etc/mail, and from
there to whereever the MTA lives, sufficed for keeping /usr out of the
game? If not, then it's the first time I see bloat in BSD distributions.
At least the NetBSD 1.5 manual page can't tell me the advantages of a
program with a config file.
