Well, I'd already learned to use "sendmail", so I was sort of expecting that the Debian install would make it available, but it installed "exim" by default - so, having deduced that that was what was "Preferred" (or, in more colorful terms, shoved down my throat by whatever cabal controls whatever OS with which I'm currently having to negotiate), I've started learning to cope with it. If the "Cabal" (I think "cadre" is probably more appropriate for software people in general) changes its collective mind with a subsequent release (which would not surprise me one iota), I'll "Go Along To Get Along". Reason?: THE STUFF IS FREE. If I were paying for it, I'd feel free to drive whoever created it to collective suicide if they didn't give me what I want. But I want support, and if it's FREE, it's damned well up to whoever created whatever it is, to decide what it looks like, and what they'll support.
