As for the configuration: when Norman Wilson moved to
Toronto, he
implemented some form of little language for configuring sendmail,
treating it somewhat as an assembly language.
Not from Norman (I'm pretty sure), there was a program called 'ease'
that did just that. Using it, I wrote a sendmail config file *from scratch*
for the computing center and math/cs system at Emory U, where I worked
at the time.
Because of that, the Morris worm totally passed us by. :-)
I think that I have literally forgotten more about sendmail than most
people ever know, and I'm totally OK with that. :-)
