That's a bit harsh. Truely sendmail was, in its day, the Swiss army knife of MTAs. If you had two wildly incompatible mail systems then, with a bit of fiddling, you can could create sendmail rules to seamlessly translate mail from A to B and back again. If M. Perkel thinks the exim's configuration options, syntax and documentation leave something to be desired, then sendmail's equivalent will come as an "interesting" challenge I'm sure. # do special header rewriting R$* <@> $* $@ $1 <@> $2 pass null host through R< @ $* > $* $@ < @ $1 > $2 pass route-addr through R$* $: $>61 $1 qualify unqual'ed names R$+ $: $>93 $1 do masquerading # when masquerading convert login name to firstname.lastname R$- < @ $M . > $* $: $(realnames $1 $) < @ $M . > $2 user=>first.last -- Martin A.
