I am not satisfied with the approach that linuxconf takes.  Things
like hard-coding the aliases in /etc/sendmail.cf doesn't seem to me
to be normal.

It doesn't NEED to be.  It is ONLY on this list that people have any
clue that these other things exist; the average Red Hat Linux 5.2
user will just use what he knows how to use and not get into trouble.
Pointing it out in any other forum will simply get people into more
trouble, not less.

The sendmail problem is that it doesn't follow conventions.  Other
modules we just (ahem, as I said before) didn't have time to QA
because we were focussing on getting the core to work...
