Of course, I used exaggeration (we all had "configure sendmail" chapter in
our sysadmin exam back then). After you compile human readable sendmail
config file into what sendmail uses, you get something similar to assembly
code as opposed to high level programming language. And some of us were
able to digest that too (as sometimes you inherit this file, but not the
configuration source file)...
