I appreciate the suggestion, but I don't see how this would be an advantage (this is arcane territory for me). I would disable the sendmail daemon, then have to configure 2 applications, where sendmail needs NO configuration, and have to run another daemon named procmail? So, I'm still running a daemon anyway and have a whole lot of work to do every Fedora upgrade.

What got me started on this was that I had read an article about a 5-second linux boot and they said they had disabled sendmail and were using ssmtp instead with significant time saving.
