I agree 100%. That's why it would be good to get a warning from
sendmail.

Well, it's probably not good behavior on any system.

Fine I've reported the issue.
Don't forget that this is not just in a propriety system.
1. This occurs in Postfix, which is not proprietary software.
2. This occurs in Darwin, which is open source.
3. This will occur in any GNU/Linux system where the administrator
has stopped the postfix daemon, which may be a reasonable thing to do
when locking down a system.
I'll post any reply I get from Apple to this list.
