How many times do I have to tell you this is not my decision to make?  
If it was up to my I'd use Exim4.  I've used it successfully in the past 
with applications that specifically called for sendmail, but the person 
I'm doing the for has required me to use sendmail. 

Think I'd be knocking my head against the wall when there is something 
much easier to use if I had a choice? 

Anyway, thanks for nothing.
