Where can I find out more about 'ease' and what Normal wrote & used?
I'm quite fond of m4, which I picked up from Sendmail < 20 years ago.
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. :-)
I do think that I've gotten a better understanding of email, and SMTP in
general, than some of my coworkers thanks to Sendmail and my pursuit of
making it work.
