This does not come as good news to me. I've been working on an antispam system that targets the use of Sendmail, for about a year (not counting the untold hours spent tuning it over the years). Sure, many aren't comfortable with the m4(1) macros. But c'mon. Please don't. As to these backstage removal discussions; is it remotely possible that those of whom continue to use, and contribute to *BSD after all these years might be included in these discussions? I understand the tantrums, and bikeshedding that's occurred in the past, revolving around these types of discussion(s). But may I humbly suggest that it may be largely in part, because these decisions were simply *sprung* on everyone? Which is bound to insight some degree of panic in some, or perhaps even many. --Chris > > -- > Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will > suffer."
