I first started with sendmail-5.65c in 1991. I couldn't get anything at
work with it. Some friendly soul gave me smail-3.1 and it worked for me
for years. But in 1993, I got the O'Reilly "BAT" book as an X-mas gift
and read the whole holydays about sendmail. In the first week of January
1994 I installed sendmail-8.6.x and within two hours or so, I had all my
routing wishes fulfilled. Now my host is a multi domain, multi protocol
e-mail server running with sendmail-8.8.4 and I won't miss it.

I 've looked of course at other MTA's (zmailer, qmail) but as I know,
none of them has such a virtuousity in the rewriting capabilities.

Liebe Grüße, Nora.
