Re: sendmail

[John Von Essen]

Sendmail's configuration file is horrendous to "humans" because it is not intended to be messed around with by humans - only the beginning of sendmail.cf should be touched (i.e. modifying path to sendmail.cw).

REASON: You use a .mc file and m4 to build a respective sendmail.cf config file. In the .mc file you declare the features you want to use - within the .mc file you do your personal configs. The .mc file is very "readable"
and is easy to work with.

OK Boys,

But I assume it must working with sendmail and then can I install
another MTA.

Sendmail has a horrendouse configuration file that takes years to
understand much less change.  Other MTAs such as Exim, Postfix and Qmail
are better designed and have clearer configuratin files.  Have a look at
all three (www.exim.org, www.postfix.org, www.qmail.org) and get the one
that you like best.
