I feel sorry for people who torture themselves with vi /etc/sendmail.cf.
It's easier to write assembly code with debug under DOS than go through
sendmail config. We have compilers to turn readable programs to binary
code yet still use a config file that makes no sense whatsoever in /etc
space. Time for Sendmail to go.
