Hrm, I'd think about sending questions to sendmail@debian.org...  Oh,

This is the configuration I run at home (fetchmail/sendmail/procmail) -
I'll be happy to help in anyway I can.

Send me your current sendmail.mc, what kind of rewriting you'd like to
have, and any local files (genericstable, virtusertable, etc).
