comment = "sendmail mail transport agent"

desc = <<EOD
The sendmail mail transport agent allows the system to send and receive mail
for both local and remote users.   sendmail can also act as a mail exchanger
for other hosts, and has a flexible configuration format that can be used to
rewrite, filter or otherwise process mail before delivering it.

sendmail supports multiple mail transport protocols, including Internet SMTP,
LMTP, UUCP and DECnet.  Support for protocols other than SMTP and LMTP needs
third-party software not shipped with the base system.

When the full functionality of sendmail is not required, consider using the
$PKG_NAME_PREFIX-dma package instead, a lightweight MTA which can send (but
not receive) mail over SMTP.
