One of the reasons sendmail was so complicated is because in those days there wasn't a single dominent 'internet'. Sendmail could handle email being sent to multiple different networks such as arpanet and uunet. (Bitnet was important than as well, but I am not sure if the gateways to bitnet used sendmail.) -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
