- Yes, but that also assumes that all your users only use MH, and that
- nothing ever uses UCB Mail. Most of our crontabs depend on UCB Mail
- to report results. We have used a minimal sendmail configuration on
- our clients for almost 5 years now, and it has worked quite well for us.

- I can't see a situation where you would never need a sendmail
- configuration that worked, because of the dependence on it in most
- vendor versions of Unix.
