See also Exim (ftp://ftp.cus.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programs/exim/), which I
believe will soon be the Gnu preferred mailer.
People mainly don't do this because:
a) only the latest mailers have the support
b) lots of people don't know about it
c) most people didn't consider it a problem 'til recently
d) lots of systems are left to rot and never have new stuff installed
But not always in that order :-)
