Last time I looked at cbosgd's config file, my analysis agreed with Erik
Fair's analysis of the situation.  Empirical evidence seems to point out
that the path reversal problem still exists at more than one host.  Part
of the problem stems from the inconsistent treatment of a!b@c. 
Unfortunately the 4.2 distribution contains config files that do a
considerable amount of header munging, and more hacking will probably
make matters worse.

Sendmail is still a mixed blessing, however some of us hope to
eventually fix the (few) cursed parts.
