This being the case, I would probably need to configure sendmail
to prefer IPv4 for outgoing mail. Does anyone have a ready recipe
for sendmail-8.14.7-6.el7 handy, as the methodology seems to have

(I can of course force it for individual domains using mailertable,
but this once again doesn't really scale)
