    Uh, since when to people who need a forwarder to a smart-host need sender
rewriting?  I'm going on a decade of never needing it and I'm pretty sure that
if I haven't needed it yet my dad, for example, would probably never need it.
 We're talking about getting mail from point A, programs which can't handle
error conditions, and transporting it to point B, the smart-host.  That would
certainly hit the 80% mark; the other 20% would have to install a full
featured mailer and by the very definition of needing to configure it to their
needs should be able to handle installing it just fine.
