Nice to meet you Matt.  As of this morning, it is served via DHCP in
mine.  There's also that guy earlier in the thread.  So now you know
of two.  Perhaps that dhcp option ought to be in the packaged
dhcpd.conf template.

And yet everyone continues to use it.  I bet there's a good reason...

Yes, and it doesn't displace an MTA.

I'm much more open to changing the default MTA from sendmail to
something else than just getting rid of the MTA.  I do happen to find
sendmail config particularly sadistic.  I'm sure there are other areas
where more modern MTAs outdo sendmail as well.  dnl:wq
