Or 3, but I admit hyperbole. :) (Three at the office for most things,
two at home. Got a serial number in a weird place at the office...)

even sendmail is manageable - it just needs a little love :)

Bah. I'm convinced even Eric Allman doesn't _really_ understand sendmail.
Me, I just remember those old songs from sunday school:

o/~ Sendmail hates me, this I know
For the log file tells me so o/~

It was when I found a sendmail.cf file that plays the towers of hanoi out
for you that I decided sendmail was just too ridiculous. :) Sendmail isn't
manageable. We only think we manage it, until the next crisis comes along...

"There is a hostile program here. Man may use sendmail, but he will
never conquer it." (with apologies to then CPT Kittinger)
