Tell your friends! :)  I happen to completly agree.  BTW, are you
going to the NCLUG meeting coming up?  I know I keep saying it, but
I think I might actually make it to this one...

I worry about that mx line.  If that hash is taken as a comment, there
aren't enough colons on the line.  Find out what that does.

Finally, the stairstep pattern can be solved a little "cleaner" with
sed.  The stairstep is because everything but UNIX expects a carriage
return after every linefeed.  If you feed the line without sending the
imaginary carriage back, you get stairstepping.  A shorter filter is
out there, but I'll have to go make it and get back to you...
