Errr, what if somebody isn't running DNS??? (like me???) Won't
defining Dwmyhost and Dj$w still work? What the heck is this .cw
file for? Why is debian implementing an incompatable sendmail?
Isn't sendmail complicated enough? I thought a project design
goal was to have a *nix compatable system? Are other Linux
distributions adopting this .cw file as well?
