Can this be posted? I, too, am stuck with a vendor-supplied sendmail.cf,
and I wouldn't want to try to edit it.

If it will not be posted, is it available by anonymous uucp (no FTP here)
from any site within the US?  I really don't want to have to download
software from the UK if I can avoid it.

Thanks in advance...
