What do you mean by cooperate? I send mail using sendmail
whenever I want to. On up-up, I do a sendmail -q. I download messages
using fetchmail. As to my sendmail config, I append my own config
file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc below. Just edit out the HACK stuff, that
is mostly anti-spam and local hacks.
Rev> And sendmail is still not suited to being easy to configure.
Fortunately, I do not find that to be the case. I have added
several local HACKs and uploaded them into /usr/lib/sendmail.cf/hacks;
and that was that. I found it quite easy to modify the guts of
sendmail behaviour that way.
I do know it is fashinable to slander pore ole sendmail ;-)

Oh, well, I guess like UNIX, sendmail is not for people who
are not willing to scale the learning curve. And I do not personally
think that the sendmail learning curve is that bad (I think it is
easier than learning vi or ed ;-)

You mileage has evidently varied from mine.
