I ran sendmail for a decade or so starting in mid-1980s. For much of that time it was all raw sendmail.cf hacking where you had to pretty much invent anything you wanted (e.g. virtual domains), when at the time it was difficult if not impossible to even find anybody else who wanted it, let alone had done it, espcially without web search. (usenet, sure.) But I moved on. When some of these things became standardized with features and whatnot, sometimes it was harder to adapt them to fit what I wanted. -mm- (early impression: oh cool, it's kinda like prolog) _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
