Sendmail has very ugly config files and it is hard enough to configure it without any help from an automatic configuration tool. In addition to that, there are this Majordomo config troubles
I wonder if time has come for Michael to try and switch to qmail and its companion ezmlm (for mailing lists). Both ISPs I use are employing qmail. It also took me less than two hours to compile and figure out how to install qmail and to instruct it to masquerade my e-mail address (as you can see in this e-mail's header). Qmail is more stable and versatile than sendmail and it is modular (this is why it doesn't require one huge and cryptic config file, but a bunch of much smaller and simpler ones). The biggest trouble with Qmail is setting it up to deliver mail to any domain. (needs some additional software; by default qmail has a very weird policy to prevent relaying), but it can be done. C.B.
