Plausibility of sendmail?

Hi All...

There were some strong opinions expressed on both sides about whether 
sendmail is a good thing
or not...but the bottom line is that no one has offered to maintain sendmail 
as a package under
Cygwin. If you want to do that, I don't think that anyone would stop you. 
There is presently a
direct replacement available under cygwin.

Why is this thread living on?

Thanks,

...Karl
