I have been remiss. Keith is correct. With the completion of my latest book project, I was able to replace Red Hat 7.2 with Slackware. Easily accomplished, except that Slackware's default Sendmail configuration is rather stringent: list email was bouncing with relaying denied messages and I needed to use Cw kurtwerks.com in sendmail.cf to let Sendmail know that the box receives mail for kurtwerks.com. I'd really like to get rid of the utterly lax mail relaying from the configuration file, but I've been stymied about how to do it without creating an ongoing maintenance nightmare for myself.
