Description:
Sendmail implements a general purpose internetwork mail
routing facility under the UNIX* operating system. It is
not tied to any one transport protocol -- its function may
be likened to a crossbar switch, relaying messages from one
domain into another. In the process, it can do a limited
amount of message header editing to put the message into a
format that is appropriate for the receiving domain. All of
this is done under the control of a configuration file.
-- quoted from SENDMAIL INSTALLATION AND OPERATION GUIDE
by Eric Allman included in the sendmail distribution
Advertised architectures: numerous - should run on practically any system
Pre-requisites: C - compiler
Man pages require the new Berkeley "mandoc" macros.
You'll need a fairly current version of M4 (SysV and GNU work; V7 doesn't).
Sendmail also likes (but does not require) a current libdb and libresolv.
