If it's dumb, and it works, it's not dumb.

Ok, personally, if I wanted anything more than a simple outgoing route
for something like alerts, or logs or whatever, I'd probably use qmail
(with its own partition under /var), but...

Flexibility, and configurability, are only meaningful when (a) they
address the problems you need to solve, and (b) they make that easier
than some other approach to address those same problems. Most software
contains a bulk of features which mostly never get used.

(I'd say more, but I do not think that that should be necessary.)

Thanks,
