+I think that :
+ - changing the default configuration in an update is wrong. If it's
+ better that msec do not send emails by default, I think this change
+ should be done in cauldron only, maybe with some note about this change
+ in the release notes for Mageia 2.
+ - adding a require or suggest on dma is wrong, especially in an update
+
+Installing dma with the update will silently replace /usr/sbin/sendmail
+to use dma instead of the previously installed mta, potentially breaking
+email for all programs using the sendmail command.
+
+If msec needs the sendmail command to send its email, it should require
+sendmail-command, not dma or any other mta in particular, so that the
+user can decide what he wants to use to send his emails.
+And if we want the users to have a working mta by default, it's the job
+of the installer to do it, not the msec package.
