I would like to use a mailer which I feel is better designed and programmed (security wise) but.... Since everyone uses Sendmail and everyone is hacking away at it I feel I'm pretty safe. Security problems are fixed quickly and without problems. And it's assumed you're using sendmail: when people work on "anti-spam" things they have sendmail rulesets to do it. Write a new mailer that has the power and functionality of Sendmail without the problems and uses sendmail.cf's format and I'll use it. On Wed, 15 Jan 1997, Sean J.
