While sendmail may indeed be a complex, powerful tool, that doesn't mean that simple things have to be complex and difficult. In any case, I really doubt that sendmail.cf is more complex and powerful than most of the standard Unix filters. I know it's more cryptic and difficult to understand. --bob-- Only speaking for you.
