You may be tempted to set the <var>DELIVERY_MODULE</var> configuration variable in
<span class="file">mm_cfg.py</span> to <code>'Sendmail'</code> when using the Sendmail mail server.
<strong>Don't</strong>. The <span class="file">Sendmail.py</span> module is misnamed - it's really a
command line based message handoff scheme as opposed to the SMTP scheme used
in <span class="file">SMTPDirect.py</span> (the default). <span class="file">Sendmail.py</span> has known security
holes and is provided as a proof-of-concept only<a name="tex2html4"
href="#foot407"><sup>4</sup></a>. If you are having problems
using <span class="file">SMTPDirect.py</span> fix those instead of using <span class="file">Sendmail.py</span>, or
you may open your system up to security exploits.
