I remember we have spoken about this in the past and it seems that
everytime it comes up, is the argument that we don't provide a real
mail alternative. I mean sure there is lots of userland based
implementations and all, but I still think that PHP should provide
something out of the box, but I do agree that at one point, the
security concerns will start to vastly outweight the unmaintained
library, but its really something that should be discussed for a
future release.
