Would you care to find reliable and properly done studies which show that sendmail is in any way superior to either postfix or exim? Besides wasting our time on useless discussion, you can't even be bothered to send a patch to fix current instructions which nobody verified to actually work for past couple of BLFS releases.

If someone else cares to fix it, it will probably be back in the book. I personally don't see the value in having it in the book but I'm not the only editor and/or BLFS user. It's that simple.
