Sorry for the late summary

Thanks to Simon.Tardell_at_physto.se larry_at_garfield.wsc.mass.edu

All pointed out that things have changed between DECs sendmail and the
newer version (actually it is 8.8.7). So I need a new sendmail.cf file.


I did as Simon Tardell proposed:

Make a new one per the instructions that came with sendmail (it is
actually quite easy if you don't want to do fancy stuff, check the cf
subdirectory, there are ready made m4 macro files for most things; if
you want to do more advanced stuff, get the sendmail book).

My question was:
