- I agree that the sendmail configuration file is very daunting, but there
- are tools which will assist in creating/maintaining/modifying the
- sendmail.cf file. The one that I am aware of is "ease", available
- from ftp.uu.net. Therefore, when using this tool sendmail can meet
- prioritys 1&2. Efficiency is not the hallmark of sendmail.
