- You are of course correct (Robert also pointed this out to me privately). Our
- current central mail host is an Apollo which doesn't support frozen config
- files ... hopefully this is going to change real-soon :) I'd kinda forgotten

- Given that your sendmail *is* IDA compliant, it is probably worthwhile
- providing documentation on how to use the m4/Sendmail.mc table driven scheme
- that Neil Rickert provides with his IDA version.
-
- Robert says this _should_ work ..... I'll just have to run some tests.
-
- As an aside, we did not get a copy of the IRIX Network Administraton
- Guide which apparently has further documentation on configuring SGI's
- sendmail. Should we have?? First I'd even heard of it was with my mail
- flurry with Robert early this morning,
