	i dont know eiter procmail or qmail.

	i doubt that they can offer the flexibility that sendmail
	has.   dont modify /etc/sendmail.cf directly, rahter use
	hte .mc files in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/cf/cf as templates
	to create a .mc for your site.  the README in the directory
	immediately above is very useful.
