The name of the mailers are arbitrary. For example, "tcp" mailer at our site is called "smtp" but I've seen some sendmail.cf files call it "ethernet"). The difference might be how they are resolved in rule set zero (i.e. the include file of the hosts these mailers can reached might be different). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The above are my personal opinions, and in no way represent the opinions of Intel Corporation.
