I have just one request: ensure that different mail-transport-agents are not required to repeat sendmail's quirks. Qmail's sendmail-clone might be a good independent implementation, do not require anything it doesn't implement and you are quite certain not to require anything too weird. PS. Cc'ed to debian-policy, this should propably be discussed there. Please drop debian-devel if you reply. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - it's a valid address w/o spam | +358-50-5124907 f u cn rd ths, thn u cn rd perl 2 | rm -rf / && echo bye-bye. | --tv
