Not quite as simple on the Mac68K because Postfix must be compiled from
source, and the sources don't compile easily nor quickly.

At least that is true for 3.4 (not sure about 3.5 yet). The Postfix
m68K "3.4" packages are compiled against the 3.3 libraries and do not
run.

I am quite happy to have Postfix as an option. I only wish it didn't
take a couple days of effort to install.

Btw, i wasn't complaining that Postfix wasn't the default. My question
was prompted because Postfix seems much more consistent with the
OpenBSD philosophy of "secure by default."
