Depends on your definition of simple... ;) He most certainly will have to edit /etc/sendmail/sendmail.cf. I suspect that his Ethernet Mailer has the 'C' option turned on. (NeXT has this as a default...) He could try to change the line Mether, P=[TCP], F=msDFMuCX, S=11, R=21, A=TCP $h to Mether, P=[TCP], F=msDFMuX, S=11, R=21, A=TCP $h Else he would have to change the rulesets in sendmail.cf which can be quite a pain somewhere...
