Likely as not; not ever. The only REAL alternative for REALLY LARGE networks
would be that software from Udel or Upa that never caught on. CSnet used to
use it. Otherwise it is sendmail. Now that the sendmail book is out maybe
someone, (Eric Allman), will design a nice front end to the parser. Maybe
something graphical like you find front-ending UILs.
