OK, I'm waiting for him to say so. 

>Unfortunately I've never used this.
Perhaps so... I haven't, either. I imagine that other mail servers have
comparible facilities. The point is (regardless of server), that you
don't hafta open up relaying and all that implies (hordes of spammers
bouncing stuff through YOUR server) to do what's needed here.

Yeah, looks like it! It does all that stuff for ya now... just look at 
the sendmail.cf file...
