Well put :-)
On the server I was upgrading, I've made do with "reject but don't
quarantine". I have another server that I plan to upgrade in the
next week or so. I'll try the suggested fix against the latest
sendmail (although I don't think there's abeen a sendmail release
in over 12 months, so I doubt anything has changed). I'll report
back here what it does.
Thanks for all the input guys.
