I managed to find the sendmail-cf package or whatever it's called without much issue. I find it laughable that the simple config for sendmail is done using m4 macros. What the hell is wrong with simple key/value pairs? So when I say it is obtuse I am not referring to complete gibberish in the real config file, I'm talking about the sendmail.mc method. Anyway, I ditched sendmail long ago and I don't follow its development at all. It's among the first thing gone from any installs I do. > Sendmail is no different in terms of security holes than named, > sshd, ftpd, or the kernel itself.

AFAIK, only sshd is enabled by default, I could be wrong though. I don't know why you feel that sendmail is getting some sort of mistreatment here. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ====================================================================== Drugs may lead to nowhere, but at least it's the scenic route.
