argh
I really prefer using MMDF, however it doesn't fit into all the kinds
of machines we have around here. So, I'm looking into using sendmail
on the 7300's, 3b2's, and Sun's. So, in order to learn as little as
possible about sendmail I'm looking at ease. I'm disappointed that
Purdue isn't using ease internally, and that the sample configuration
files they include are incomplete, have syntax errors, and are as well
commented as the sendmail configuration files which I've looked at.
I feel confident that I can learn ease, however it'd be real nice
if someone had one handy ... :-) ...
The type of machines which I'll be using this with are all connected to
ether and would use TCP/SMTP to send mail out. They'll be sending
anything but local mail out to a central machine which is much smarter
than the other guys around. (I've been using this strategy successfully
within my MMDF hosts, and want to extend the strategy to SendMail hosts).
I suppose the configuration should be in two major parts. The first
is something which canonicalizes addresses and the second which
figures out if this is local mail.
