FWIW: sendmail does not _require_ DNS, but it operates better
in the presence of DNS, even though it can provide degraded
service without it.  The same goes for sendmail's need for
syslogd.

Thus there are both hard and soft requirements.  Lack of soft
requirements means degraded, but functional service (e.g.
lack of NIS does not mean you should not start getty on the
console to permit root logins).
