There are m4 files and prototypes to create a variety of sendmail.cf files. I did this with varying degrees of success. My main problem is that when UUCP mail originating from "user@domain" arrives via host "uulink", the reply fields end up containing "uulink!user@domain". When you reply to this, the domain addressing seems to take precedence, resulting in an attempt to find user "uulink!user" at "domain". - Gene Stark -- stark@cs.sunysb.edu
