+Well it's just  a suggests not a requires.
+Also suggesting sendmail-command would requires the user to first choose 
+one of  the possible alternative ( ssmtp,postfix, sendmail,mstmp or dma 
+actually but we can still expect to have more mta for the end user)  
+which is by default currently postfix.
+Even if i personally find quite easy to configure postfix we can still 
+expect than the end user can probably mis configured the mta, & configure 
+it (wrongly) as an open relay.
+Suggesting something like dma or mstmp or ssmtp is for msec is (from my 
+point of view) far better than providing a « real » mta.
