Has anyone else had the problems I've had getting sendmail to do the  
right thing? My situation is that I have a stand-alone station which is  
part of a domain (mese.com) fed by a uucp link from my domain entry  
point (indigo.mese.com). The problems are numerous:

namely: sendmail wants all uucp paths to contain a !. This includes the  
return paths (?). It took a lot of munging on the sendmail.cf file to  
get it to pass a From: xxx <name@drefla.mese.com> line. The bloomin  
mailhost.sendmail.cf file even expects all known machines with @ paths  
to exist on the ethernet! Several rule modifications later I finally  
got there but what a pain.

Is there an easier way to do this (maybe with netinfo)? I can't believe  
that NeXT overlooked what may well be one of the most common  
configurations out there.

What are your experiences with sendmail?
