The current promiscuous configuration is asking >for trouble at hosts that have full time net connections. While I wouldn't mind seeing the default more restrictive, host only seems excessive to me. Something along the lines of domain only like was suggested here by someone else sounds good to me. (Heck, if it was changed to default to host only I'd probably sooner change the machine I bounce my mail off of before trying to loosen the restriction in sendmail, the campus servers here aren't too restrictive). >Is POP3 able to run bi-directionally with clients such as Eudora?

(I have to admit I've never used it like that, so I don't *know* that it did that. I'm not to sure about the idea of IMAP myself. I started playing with the beta implementation that's in the new beta of eudora, and I'm not sure I like IMAP. Didn't seem to be real friendly to use (especially for someone like me that uses eudora to sort my mail). Course, the support is still early, so maybe it'll get better.
