Use the default SMTPDirect for _any_ MTA, including sendmail. Regarding
the Sendmail module the following is a quote from $prefix/Defaults.py,
so it is best not to use it:
<quote>
# WARNING: Sendmail has security holes and should be avoided. In fact,
you
# must read the Mailman/Handlers/Sendmail.py file before it will work
for
# you.
