[net.mail.headers] arcane sendmail configuration tables

mas@Purdue.ARPA (Mark Shoemaker) (04/20/84)

	Why doesn't someone (with lots of spare time) design a more
	reasonable syntax for describing a sendmail configuration and
	then implement a translator from it to the current syntax?

	While they're at it, they could write a translator
	(disassmbler?) from the old syntax to the new to aid in
	incorporating updates.

		I'd do it if I had the time (really!),

As one of my roomates used to say to me when *I* made a statment like that:

	"And if I had a rocket ship, I'd fly to the moon!"
