*This* question makes sense.  Your question two messages back, quoted
above ("does OpenBSD have...") is what didn't make sense and sent
Marco spinning into surrealist response.  Perhaps you meant in that
older message to instead say "does OpenSMTPD have..."?

(As for your question: I don't know the answer.  I'm quite comfortable
with sendmail myself** and have other things I'm more interested in
hacking on in OpenBSD so I haven't gotten around to checking OpenSMTPD
over closely and can give neither positive *nor* negative feedback on
its reliability.)
