[Wisner] # And now I wax religious: # # I dislike Ease. [...] I agree with most of your conclusions about Ease. However, I recommend that anyone interested in understanding sendmail's raw configuration language get Ease, read all of its documentation, and play with it for a week. This is how I finally learned enough about sendmail.cf to write one from scratch. I might have stayed with Ease if it had made multi-line strings possible; my "Received:" headers spanned a physical newline and the grammar that came with Ease at that time would have taken massive hacking to make that possible. Also, Ease cannot generate the extensions used by IDA. No fault on the part of its implementors, since IDA didn't exist when Ease was first conceived. -- Paul Vixie Work: vixie@decwrl.dec.com decwrl!vixie +1 415 853 6600 Play: paul@vixie.sf.ca.us vixie!paul +1 415 864 7013
