Including, for example, everything that sends mail on Windows?

Or everything on a platform (e.g. OSX) where the program at that 
location, which may or not be Sendmail-TM-brand-sendmail, is by default 
configured not to deliver, because mismanaged mail proxies are evil?

And how about thosee non-Sendmail-TM-brand-sendmails, e.g. the ones set 
up by Postfix et al. Does the Hate cover those as well?

So many ways to hate!
