I absolutely agree - the m4 config is just fine. It has been my
experience, though, that admins (myself included) don't follow best
practice all the time, and modify things directly, leading to cascading
failures. While one can wag fingers, using a tool that doesn't have
an intermediate step for configuration while still allowing direct
modification of the resulting config has a certain tendency to cause
failure in environments without strictly enforced policy.

In any case, I was only editorializing a bit, not trying to throw any
critical words.


-j, who learned all he needed to know about sendmail from the
towers-of-hanoi hack, and too much Bat book on an empty stomach.

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing 
about the problem.
