I disagree. I believe the fedora project needs to come to a consensus
about which MTA or which imap/pop program is the preferred application.
Just because you know an application does not mean it is the best one
for the job. If I make that choice then I risk that the programming will
go unused because other mail programs are preferred. I already know how
to configure several MTAs and imap/pop servers. I am looking to keep the
community effort in place not to push one's agenda.
