why does sendmail require such complex configuration tables, you ask? read the documentation (sendmail/doc/op.me): There is one point that should be made clear immediately: the syntax of the configuration file is designed to be reasonably easy to parse, since this is done every time sendmail starts up, rather than easy for a human to read or write. let's just ignore the fact that parsing was made trivial by geniuses of decades past, and go blithely along, prematurely optimizing. progress? who needs it? feh. peter honeyman
