Why do you still use sendmail which (nearly?) noone can configure. I use  
smail3.1.25 which I enhanced to handle netinfo-aliases. I tried to mail my  
announcment to the address the author mentions in the doc's but got no  
responds yet. I can upload the stuff to some ftp-side or mail it somebody.  
Anyone interested ? 

Verified for 2.1
Not tested yet for 3.0 (but should be no problem).
