This is FUD. I can't count the number of time's I've hosed my sendmail
setup on a Solaris box when installing patches. It's not very nice, but
it's FreeBSD is certaintly in good company here. Just about every time
I patch a bunch of Solaris systems, I manage to forget to fix sendmail on
one of them and have to fix mail problems later.
